Although this book falls into the genre of "popular science" - books written for the lay person rather than for the scientist - it is nevertheless suitable for those wh are familar with physics. I read it as part of an honors designation in one of my university physics classes, but the book itself requires considerably less math than the textbooks used for my classes. ( ) A book about the Standard Model of elementary particle physics by a Nobel prize winning contributor to its development. Written from a very pragmatic point of view, with much focus on experimental verification of various parts of the model prior to them becoming "standard". The book is sprinkled with wonderful personal recollections and anecdotes and is worth reading just for that. The non-technical explanations of some fundamental aspects of modern physics are full of tropes common to the popular physics literature. Unfortunately, IMHO, many of these tropes are sub-optimal as explanations and often produce more confusion than clarity in the layman. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This book provides a comprehensive overview of modern particle physics accessible to anyone with a true passion for wanting to know how the universe works. We are introduced to the known particles of the world we live in. An elegant explanation of quantum mechanics and relativity paves the way for an understanding of the laws that govern particle physics. These laws are put into action in the world of accelerators, colliders and detectors found at institutions such as CERN and Fermilab that are in the forefront of technical innovation. Real world and theory meet using Feynman diagrams to solve the problems of infinities and deduce the need for the Higgs boson.Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics offers an incredible insight from an eyewitness and participant in some of the greatest discoveries in 20th century science. From Einstein's theory of relativity to the spectacular discovery of the Higgs particle, this book will fascinate and educate anyone interested in the world of quarks, leptons and gauge theories.This book also contains many thumbnail sketches of particle physics personalities, including contemporaries as seen through the eyes of the author. Illustrated with pictures, these candid sketches present rare, perceptive views of the characters that populate the field.The Chapter on Particle Theory, in a pre-publication, was termed 'superbly lucid' by David Miller in Nature (Vol. 396, 17 Dec. 1998, p. 642).
