Even if you don't have much of a math background but would like to delve deeper into the subject, this is the book for you. It's worth getting to know more about particle physics!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eRolf-Dieter Heuer, CERN Director General 2009 - 2015 Quarks, neutrinos, supersymmetry, Higgs boson, LHC, antimatter, dark matter - who wouldn't like to know more about them? This book provides an engaging overview of exciting topics in particle physics. It combines fascinating facts with a mix of vivid images and educational text, carefully arranged so that each topic is thoroughly explored within a self-contained double-page spread. The book covers both experiments and discoveries, as well as theoretical concepts and methods. You'll learn how particle accelerators work, appreciate the beauty behind the theories of particle physics, and discover how the history and structure of the Universe are intricately connected to the properties of elementary particles and forces. Step by step, you'll also learn how to extract relevant information from vast amounts of data. Join us on a journey of discovery from the foundations of modern particle physics through exciting developments in basic research to applications that are indispensable in our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Bechtle\u003c\/strong\u003e is an experimental particle physicist and teaches at the University of Bonn in Germany. \u003cstrong\u003eFlorian Bernlochner \u003c\/strong\u003eis a professor of experimental particle physics at the University of Bonn. \u003cstrong\u003eHerbi Dreiner\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor in the field of theoretical particle physics at the University of Bonn. \u003cstrong\u003eChristoph Hanhart\u003c\/strong\u003e is working in the field of theoretical nuclear and particle physics at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany and as a professor at the University of Bonn. \u003cstrong\u003eJosef Jochum\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of experimental particle physics at the University of Tübingen in Germany. \u003cstrong\u003eJörg Pretz\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of experimental physics at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany and a researcher at the Jülich Research Centre. \u003cstrong\u003eKristin Riebe\u003c\/strong\u003e is an astrophysicist at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam in Germany and a successful graphics designer who has given this book its special structure.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52033870954770,"sku":"9783662720431","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ad1e8495-a5f3-4a5e-a1b5-cf2b109def35.jpg?v=1770975801","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/fascinating-particle-physics-quarks-neutrinos-the-higgs-boson-and-the-riddles-of-the-universe-9783662720431","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
