Opis

Literally thousands of elementary particles have been discovered over the last 50 years, their properties measured, relationships systematiz ed, and existence and behavior explained in a myriad of cleverly const ructed theories. As the field has grown so impressively, so has its ja rgon. This unique handbook contains, in dictionary form, terms of inte rest in particle physics clearly defined and with relevant technical a nd mathematics details. It covers the experimental and theoretical tec hniques of particle physics along with terms from the closely related fields of astrophysics and cosmology. Designed primarily for non-speci alists, it contains numerous figures and an extensive bibliography.
