CHOICE Highly Recommended 2021 Particles, Fields, Space-Time: From
Thomson's Electron to Higgs' Boson explores the concepts, ideas, and
experimental results that brought us from the discovery of the first
elementary particle in the end of the 19th century to the completion
of the Standard Model of particle physics in the early 21st century.
The book concentrates on disruptive events and unexpected results that
fundamentally changed our view of particles and how they move through
space-time. It separates the mathematical and technical details from
the narrative into focus boxes, so that it remains accessible to
non-scientists, yet interesting for those with a scientific background
who wish to further their understanding. The text presents and
explains experiments and their results wherever appropriate. This book
will be of interest to a general audience, but also to students
studying particle physics, physics teachers at all levels, and
scientists with a recreational curiosity towards the subject. Features
Short, comprehensive overview concentrating on major breakthroughs,
disruptive ideas, and unexpected results Accessible to all interested
in subatomic physics with little prior knowledge required Contains the
latest developments in this exciting field
