This book will explain how group theory underpins some of
the key features of particle physics. It will examine symmetries and
conservation laws in quantum mechanics and relate these to groups of
transformations. Group theory provides the language for describing how
particles (and in particular, their quantum numbers) combine. This
provides understanding of hadronic physics as well as physics beyond
the Standard Model. The symmetries of the Standard Model associated
with the Electroweak and Strong (QCD) forces are described by the
groups U(1), SU(2) and SU(3). The properties of these groups are
examined and the relevance to particle physics is discussed.
