Making extensive use of archival sources and personal correspondence, the author offers for the first time a unified history of European efforts to build modern-day particle accelerators, from the dark times of war-ravaged Europe up to the rebuilding of science in Germany, UK, Italy and France through the 1950s and early 1960s. This book, the result of several years of scholarly research work, includes numerous previously unpublished photos as well as original drawings by Bruno Touschek. . 410 0$aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0621 606 $aParticle accelerators 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aMeasuring instruments 606 $aAccelerator Physics 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation 615 0$aParticle accelerators. 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 0$aMeasuring instruments. 615 14$aAccelerator Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a539.72 676 $a530.092 700 $aPancheri$b Giulia$053333 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910595053603321 996 $aBruno Touschek's Extraordinary Journey$92915796 997 $aUNINA
