本书分为两册，详细地介绍了粒子物理学的现代理论和实验。条理分明，表述连贯。作者以简明直观的方式，阐释隐藏在实验现象背后的深刻的物理原理，同时循序渐进地讲解从事粒子物理研究用到的现代方法。本书收入了许多粒子物理领域的新成果，还有若干很有特色的议题，例如高阶弱电效应，夸克混合，喷流，深度非弹性轻子—强子散射，简单部分子模型的量子色动力学修正，以及量子色动力学的非微扰理论等。本书可以作为现代粒子物理学方向的研究生教材，对该领域的科研人员也有很好的参考价值。本书第一册主要包括电弱相互作用，新的基本粒子的探索及其物理性质的研究，部分子的发现，以及简单部分子模型的构建和预测等。第二册在介绍了CP破坏之后，主要讲解量子色动力学及其在“硬”过程中的应用，同时也介绍了“软”强子物理和非微扰量子色动力学。
读者对象：理论物理、高能物理和场论等专业的高年级本科生、研究生和相关专业的科研人员。
