Sinossi

Elementary particle physics is the quadrant of nature whose laws can be written in a few lines with absolute precision and the greatest empirical adequacy. The lectures presented in this book introduce students and interested readers to the entire subject in a compact way. It details the current theory of ElectroWeak interactions after one year of operation of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, focusing on open questions that the experiments might allow to answer.
