Where Can I Find Recommended References for Learning Particle Physics?

In summary, Studying the standard model of particle physics requires knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The book Introduction to Particle Physics by Griffth is a good choice for someone with a basic understanding of quantum mechanics. The math required for this book includes complex numbers, linear algebra, and multivariable calculus. For further references on these topics, one can refer to specific textbooks on each subject.

I want to study the standard model of particle physics and i want to use some event generator software (Pythia, CompHep, ... ), I have


Introduction to Particle Physics by Griffth

Is this enough to learn the Standard Model, I have some basics in Quantum Mechanics

Any Recommendations ?
