The Infinity Puzzle Av Frank (professor Of Theoretical Physics Oxford University And Fellow In Physics Exeter College Oxford) Close

We are living in a Golden Age of Physics. Forty or so years ago, three brilliant, yet little-known scientists - an American, a Dutchman, and an Englishman - made breakthroughs which later inspired the construction of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva: a 27 kilometre-long machine that cost ten billion dollars, took twenty years to build, and finally discovered a particle consistent with the Higgs boson. The Infinity Puzzle is the inside story of those forty years of research, breakthrough, and endeavour. Peter Higgs, Gerard ''t Hooft and James Bjorken were the three scientists whose work is explored here, played out across the decades against a backdrop of high politics, low behaviour, and billion dollar budgets. Written by Frank Close, the eminent physicist and award-winning writer, The Infinity Puzzle also draws upon the author''s close friendships with those involved. In July 2012, in the days leading up to the momentous announcement that the Higgs boson had indeed been dis

Nuclear Physics: A Very Short Introduction Av Frank (professor Emeritus Of Theoretical Physics Oxford University And Fellow In Physics Exeter College

Nuclear physics began long before the identification of fundamental particles, with J. J. Thomson''s discovery of the electron at the end of the 19th century, which implied the existence of a positive charge in the atom to make it neutral. In...

Antimatter Av Frank (emeritus Professor Of Physics Oxford University And Fellow Exeter College Oxford) Close

Antimatter explores a strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday; where left becomes right, positive becomes negative; and where, should matter and antimatter...
