Additional information
from the Particle Data Group
There is a lot of useful information on this website including an interactive webpage of
particle properties. There is also a series of reviews that are directly relevant to the
material covered in the course. The reviews that are most relevant are contained in the
sections on "Constants, Units, Atomic and Nuclear Properties" and
"Experimental Methods and Colliders". There is also some useful information in the
Kinematics section. It is possible to download specific reviews or the complete set of
PDG webpages.
This is all available at the PDG web page
