I often have a hard time connecting the material (okay, vocabulary) in research papers to my existing, mostly ugrad understanding. (Att’n anyone surfing over from CV who has some resources.)
Some of the useful sites to remedy this that I’ve tracked down are after the jump.
SPIRES Reviews can be quite good for particle physics, but some of their headings are more aspirational than useful.
Something I stumbled across on my own is the review section in the PDG. I was sent there to check accepted particle properties, branching ratios etc for a project on ATLAS, and I find these reviews really useful.
For a guide to the field and plenty of lecture notes, Gerard ‘t Hooft is great, especially if you’re interested in being GOOD.
You can always plug “review” and “keyword i don’t understand yet” into arXiv but that can be a crude instrument.
If you have an institutional VPN or get your self to a library, Reviews of Modern Physics and IOP Reviews are good ones too.
Here’s hoping for comments!
