Particles And The Universe: From The Ionian School To The Higgs Boson And Beyond 1st Edition: “The book unifies presentation of broad philosophical ideas with precision of professional analysis. The possibility of such a synthesis is rooted in the personality of the author who, being a well known expert in elementary particles physics, is open to interpretation of its results within general cultural context.” Prof. Zakharov Valentin Ivanovich Itep, Russia “This is a fascinating book which traces the history of particle physics from its beginning to the recent discovery of the Higgs boson. The book is accessible to any person with a secondary school knowledge of Physics and Mathematics, curious to know about the basic facts of Particle Physics and its relation to Cosmology. The book can be a good complement to students in Particle Physics interested in the way that the Standard Model developed historically.” Professor Eduardo de Rafael Centre de Physique Theorique, France This book aims to present the history and developments of particle physics from the introduction of the notion of particles by the Ionian school until the discovery of the Higgs boson at Lhc in 2012. Neutrino experiments and particle accelerators where different particles have been discovered are reviewed. In particular, details about the Cern accelerators are presented. This book also discusses the future developments of the field and the work to popularize high energy physics. A short presentation of some features of astrophysics and its connection to particle physics is also included. At the end of the book, some useful tools in the research of particle physics are given for the advanced readers.
