Books on Weak Interaction

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a mathematically rigorous book on weak interactions for their thesis on neutron beta decay, specifically looking for detailed explanations of the CKM matrix and the historical development of the Lagrangian, starting from Fermi theory. They mention "Weak Interactions of Leptons and Quarks" by Commins and Bucksbaum but note a lack of reviews. The discussion revolves around recommendations for comprehensive resources on weak interactions, emphasizing the need for clarity and depth in the material.

Hi, I am interested in a mathematically relatively rigorous book on weak interaction. I am doing my thesis on neutron beta decay, and have a lot of questions about the CKM matrix, the historical development of the Lagrangian for the weak interaction preferably starting from the Fermi theory with step by step explanations. I found the book Weak Interactions of Leptons and Quarks by Commins and Bucksbaum, but couldn't find any opinions on this. Has anyone read this, and does anyone have any recommendations on a book on weak interaction?
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
