Exploring Fundamental Particles

A clear picture of the historic breakthroughs and latest findings in the particle physics community, this book presents the theories and experiments surrounding fundamental particles and the main forces between them. It traces the development of this fascinating field, from the discoveries of Newton, Fermi, and Feynman to the detection of CP violation and neutrinos to the quest to observe the Higgs boson and beyond. The authors cover the standard model, CP violation, neutrinos, and the Higgs boson. They also discuss the importance of the LHC and ILC and shed light on past experiments and recent discoveries.
