	Peskin is ~~linked through~~ ''An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory'', ~~coauthored with Daniel~~ Schroeder.		== Career and work ==
			Peskin is a theoretical particle physicist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. His work has addressed electroweak symmetry breaking, collider physics, and beyond-Standard-Model phenomenology.<ref name="slac">{{Cite web \|title=Michael Peskin \|url=https://faculty.slac.stanford.edu/person/michael-peskin \|website=SLAC Faculty \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref><ref name="wiki" />

			He is particularly associated with the Peskin-Takeuchi parameters, which quantify certain new-physics effects in electroweak precision tests.<ref name="wiki" />

			For QFT students, his best-known role is as coauthor with Daniel Schroeder of ''An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory'', often referred to simply as Peskin and Schroeder.<ref name="book">{{Cite web \|title=An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory \|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Introduction_to_Quantum_Field_Theory \|website=Wikipedia \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref>
