The presentation is non-technical (E=mc2 is the only equation!) and the prose accessible. By following the co-evolution of particle accelerators and particle physics, readers will learn why the accelerators are built, how they work, and what "results" they produce. The book highlights the great ideas (e.g. synchrotron) and technological advances (superconducting magnets) that boosted the potential of accelerators and led to new discoveries, eventually resulting in the standard model of particle physics. Many concepts are illustrated with figures derived from three-dimensional models; these include the accelerators, detectors, and particles. Background information about the main protagonists, along with pointers to further reading, e.g. from "Scientific American," are provided in end notes. 410 0$aCopernicus Books, Sparking Curiosity and Explaining the World,$x2731-8990 606 $aParticle accelerators 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aAccelerator Physics 606 $aParticle Physics 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 615 0$aParticle accelerators. 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics). 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 14$aAccelerator Physics. 615 24$aParticle Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 676 $a539.73 700 $aZiemann$b Volker$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01051104 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910847073503321 996 $aBeams$94154575 997 $aUNINA
