Product Description: This book aims to present the history and developments of particle physics from the introduction of the notion of particles by the Ionian school until the discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC in 2012. Neutrino experiments and particle accelerators where different particles have been discovered are reviewed...read more

Product Description: Almost weightless and able to pass through the densest materials with ease, neutrinos seem to defy the laws of nature. But these mysterious particles may hold the key to our deepest questions about the universe, says physicist Heinrich Päs...read more

Product Description: About the series Endorsed by Edexcel, this series is designed to meet the needs of students studing the Edexcel GCSE Modern World History specification. Written by senior examiners, the series has been developed to help students to achieve the highest possible grades through: - outlining key lines of enquiry - in-depth coverage of the content requirements of the specification - exam-style questions, model answers and examiner's tips to aid exam preparation - a variety of activities to motivate all students...read more

Product Description: Our journey in search of the origin of matter — and, by extension, the origin of the Universe itself — has taken us deeper and deeper inside atoms. First to come into view was the atomic nucleus, and still further downscale the individual protons and neutrons that constitute the nucleus...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: From the first attempts to split the atom to the discovery of the top quark, the 20th century has witnessed a revolution in basic physics. Probing successively smaller constituents of matter has also revealed the conditions present at the time of the Big Bang...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Recounts a series of International Rochester Conferences, occasions for the exchanging of ideas and announcements of discoveries in physics, describing the physicists in attendance and the topics they discussed

Looks at the history of elementary particle physics, and explains what these particles have revealed to scientists about the creation of the universe

Product Description: This book has come into being as a result of scientific debates. And these debates have determined its structure. The first chapter is in the form of Socratic dialogues between a mathematician (MATH.), two physicists (pHYS. and EXP...read more

Shows how modern physicists, with the aid of powerful particle chambers, were able to establish the existence of the quark, the particle inside the proton and neutron components of the atom's nucleus
