The volume is divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical overview of particle physics, covering topics such as the Standard Model, quantum field theory, and collider physics. The second part describes the experimental techniques used to study particle physics, including detector technology, data analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations.

Part 1: Theory

• The Standard Model of Particle Physics
• Quantum Field Theory
• Collider Physics
• Supersymmetry
• Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Part 2: Experiments

• Detector Technology
• Data Analysis
• Monte Carlo Simulations
• LHC Experiments
• Neutrino Experiments

The Particle Physics Reference Library is an essential resource for anyone interested in the fundamental nature of matter and energy. This first volume provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical foundations and experimental techniques that underpin our understanding of particle physics.
