Historical notes and fundamental concepts -- Particle interaction with matter and detectors -- Particle accelerators and particle detection -- The paradigm of interactions: the electromagnetic case -- First discussion of the other fundamental interactions -- Invariance and conservation principles -- Interactions of hadrons at low energies and the static quark model -- Weak interactions and neutrinos -- Discoveries in electron-positron collisions -- High energy interactions and the dynamic quark model -- The Standard Model of the Microcosm -- CP violation and particle oscillations -- Microcosm and Macrocosm -- Fundamental aspects of nucleon interactions.

This volume is an exercises and solutions manual that complements  the book "Particles and Fundamental Interactions" by Sylvie Braibant, Giorgio Giacomelli, and Maurizio Spurio.  It aims to give additional intellectual stimulation for students in experimental particle physics. It will be a helpful companion in the preparation of a written examination, but also it provides a means to gaining a deeper understanding of high energy physics. The problems proposed are sometimes true and important research questions, which are described and solved in a step-by-step manner. In addition to the problems and solutions, this book offers fifteen Supplements that give further insight into topical subjects related to particle accelerators, signal and data acquisition systems and computational methods to treat them.
