Résumé
Literally thousands of elementary particles have been
discovered over the last 50 years, their properties
measured, relationships systematized, and existence and
behavior explained in a myriad of cleverly constructed
theories. As the field has grown so impressively, so has
its jargon. Until now, scientists in other fields have had
no single resource from which they can quickly reference an
idea, acronym, or term and find an accessible definition
and explanation.
The Handbook of Particle Physics fills that void. This unique work contains, in encyclopedic form, terms of interest in particle physics, including its peculiar jargon. It covers the experimental and theoretical techniques of particle physics along with terms from the closely related fields of astrophysics and cosmology. Designed primarily for non-specialists with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and relativity, the entries preserve a degree of rigor by providing the relevant technical and mathematical details.
Clear and engaging prose, numerous figures, and historical overviews complement the handbook's convenience both as a reference and as an invitation into the fascinating world of particle physics.
