Cover; Contents; About the Author; Preface; Foreword; Prologue: Form and Substance; Part I: Invention; 1 The Poetry of Logical Ideas: In which German mathematician Emmy Noether discovers the relationship between conservation laws and the deep symmetries of nature; 2 Not a Sufficient Excuse: In which Chen Ning Yang and Robert Mills try to develop a quantum field theory of the strong nuclear force and annoy Wolfgang Pauli
3 People Will Be Very Stupid About It: In which Murray Gell-Mann discovers strangeness and the 'Eightfold Way', Sheldon Glashow applies Yang-Mills field theory to the weak nuclear force, and people are very stupid about it4 Applying the Right Ideas to the Wrong Problem: In which Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig invent quarks and Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam use the Higgs mechanism to give mass to the W and Z particles (finally!) 5 I Can Do That: In which Gerard 't Hooft proves that Yang-Mills field theories can be renormalized and Murray Gell-Mann and Harald Fritzsch develop a theory of the strong force based on quark colourPart II: Discovery; 6 Alternating Neutral Currents: In which protons and neutrons are shown to have an internal structure and the predicted neutral currents of the weak nuclear force are found, and then lost, and then found again 7 They Must Be Ws: In which quantum chromodynamics is formulated, the charm-quark is discovered, and the W and Z particles are found, precisely where they were predicted to be8 Throw Deep: In which Ronald Reagan throws his weight behind the Superconducting Supercollider, but when the project is cancelled by Congress six years later all that remains is a hole in Texas; 9 A Fantastic Moment: In which the Higgs boson is explained in terms that a British politician can understand, hints of the Higgs are found at CERN, the Large Hadron Collider is switched on, and then blows up 10 The Shakespeare Question: In which the LHC performs better than anyone expected (except Lyn Evans), a year's data is gathered in a few months and the Higgs boson runs out of places to hideEpilogue: The Construction of Mass; Endnotes; Glossary; A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H; I; K; L; M; N; P; Q; R; S; T; U; V; W; Y; Bibliography; Index; A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H; I; J; K; L; M; N; O; P; Q; R; S; T; U; V; W; X; Y; Z |
