Herbi K. Dreiner is Professor of Physics at the University of Bonn. He received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin, and also worked at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), the University of Oxford, ETH Zürich and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. He is the author of over 100 scientific papers on supersymmetry and has received several teaching prizes. He is a founder of the Bonn Physics Show for which he received the European Physical Society High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) Outreach Prize. Howard E. Haber is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He is a co-author of The Higgs Hunter's Guide, published by Perseus Books in 1990. He won an Alexander von Humboldt Research Award in 2009 and was a co-recipient of the 2017 American Physical Society J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics. Stephen P. Martin is a Professor of Physics at Northern Illinois University, where he received the university's highest award for teaching excellence. He gained his Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He has authored over 100 papers in high-energy physics.
'The book gives a self-contained description of the Standard Model of particle physics and its supersymmetric extension. It is well suited for students, as well as experienced researchers in the field. Its unique feature is the comprehensive description of quantum field theory and its application to particle physics in the framework of two-component (Weyl) spinors. This is a cause for celebration as this two-component formulation is the most simple and transparent way to understand the nature of (chiral) fermions, in contrast to the four-component spinor formalism that is presented in a vast majority of textbooks of quantum field theory. The book will be of enormous help to all those that try to teach and try to learn the subject.' Hans-Peter Nilles, Universität Bonn 'The new book by Dreiner, Haber, and Martin is a must have for folks who are interested in beyond the Standard Model phenomenology. It contains innumerable lessons for performing quantum field theory calculations both at the conceptual and technical level, by way of many concrete examples within the Standard Model and its supersymmetric extension. I expect this will become a go-to reference for everyone from graduate students to seasoned researchers.' Tim Cohen, CERN/EPFL and the University of Oregon 'This is a massive, definitive text on phenomenological supersymmetry in quantum field theory by three giants of the field. The book develops two-component spinor formalism and its practical use in amplitude computations with many phenomenological examples up to one loop order. Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model are also covered and many other gems besides.' Ben Allanach, University of Cambridge
