Description
"In the tradition of his bestselling Alice in Quantumland, The Wizard of Quarks takes L. Frank Baum's classic tale of a little girl from Kansas and transforms it into a description of the practically indescribable world of subatomic particles. Dorothy's encounters with the Witch of Mass, the Witch of Charge, the Witch of Color, and the Weak Witch will help readers grasp the maddeningly elusive concepts that support the foundations of modern physics."--Jacket....

"The history of particle physics, the hunt for the most elusive particle, and the fundamental questions the search has inspired."--Book jacket.
" How did physicists combine talent and technology to discover the Higgs boson, the last piece in our inventory of the subatomic world? How did the Higgs change our understanding of the universe? And now, nearly a decade after its detection, what comes next? Answering these questions, Ivo van Vulpen--a CERN...

Description
"Helen Quinn and Yossi Nir explain both the history of antimatter and recent advances in particle physics and cosmology. And they discuss the enormous, high-precision experiments that particle physicists are undertaking to test the laws of physics at their most fundamental levels - and how their results reveal tantalizing new possibilities for solving this puzzle at the heart of the cosmos." "The Mystery of the Missing Antimatter is at once a history...
