Particle and high-energy physics

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the fundamental theory and applications of slow-neutron scattering.

John Stewart Bell (1928-1990) was one of the most important figures in twentieth-century physics, famous for his work on the fundamental aspects of the century's most important theory, quantum mechanics.

A total eclipse of the Sun is the most awesome sight in the heavens.

This book provides an up-to-date, self-contained account of deep inelastic scattering in high-energy physics, intended for graduate students and physicists new to the subject.

If you have not already heard about solitons, you will sooner or later encounter them.

This volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading authorities on black hole accretion.

This book has emerged from an undergraduate course as well as a graduate one, which I have taught for a number of years.

What is quantum mechanics?

Before the Higgs boson, there was a maddening search for another particle the ghostly neutrino.

What really happened in the Big Bang?

The definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the greatest science story of our time Winner of the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books A Best Science Book of the Year for the Guardian, Financial Times, and New Scientist It was the universe's most elusive particle, the linchpin for everything scientists dreamed up to explain how physics works.

In this compelling introduction to the fundamental particles that make up the universe, Frank Close takes us on a journey into the atom to examine known particles such as quarks, electrons, and the ghostly neutrino.

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 meet, the two annihilate in a blinding flash of energy that makes even thermonuclear explosions look feeble by comparison.

In the early 1960s, three groups of physicists, working independently in different countries, stumbled upon an idea that would change physics and fuel the imagination of scientists for decades.

On July 4th, 2012, one of physics' most exhilarating results was announced: a new particle and very likely a new kind of particle had been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator designed to reproduce energies present in the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

Gaining notoriety as the science behind the controversial experiments of the Large Hadron Collider, particle physics explores our most fundamental and mind-blowing problems: How did the Universe start?
