The Weak Force and the Discovery of the W Particle; IndexIn 1980, the Cold War was in full bloom. The Soviet father of the hydrogen bomb and Nobel Peace Laureate turned dissident physicist, Andrei Sakharov, had been exiled to Gorki by the Soviet authorities. Called "senile" and under heavy Soviet censorship, Sakharov had a hard time communicating his latest scientific results to readers outside of Gorki. Some smuggled results reached the author, Harry Lipkin, who then realized that he and Sakharov were both pioneers in a new revolution on our understanding the structure of matter. The particle physics community had resisted their revelation that theQuarksNuclear physicsHistoryQuarks.Nuclear physicsHistory.539.72167947.084092Lipkin Harry J48854MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910808581303321Andrei Sakharov4116007UNINA01890nas 2200529 a 450 991033905700332120240413020427.01286-0050(OCoLC)40877266(CKB)954925614018(CONSER) 2002227004(DE-599)ZDB1468654-5(MiAaPQ)616449(EXLCZ)9995492561401819990301a19989999 sy enguran||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe European physical journalApplied physicsLes Ulis, France EDP Sciences1998-Title from contents page (viewed Mar. 1, 1999).Refereed/Peer-reviewed1286-0042 A journal dealing with the properties of bulk, thin film and nanomaterials; the synthesis, processing and characterization of materials; the physics of energy transformations; lasers and optics; the physics of electronic devices; plasma and discharge physics; the physics and mechanics of fluids; the physics and mechanics of biological systems; and instrumentation, measurement, and metrology.PhysicsPeriodicalsMicroscopyPeriodicalsMicrochemistryPeriodicalsMicrostructurePeriodicalsPhysiqueMicrochimieMicrostructure (Physique)PhysicsMicroscopyMicrochemistryMicrostructurePhysique.Microchimie.Microstructure (Physique)European Physical Society.Société française des microscopies.EDP Sciences.JOURNAL9910339057003321The European physical journal1896345UNINA
