Comprises the proceedings of the Symposium on Electron Physics held as a satellite symposium to the Fifth European Conference on Atomic and Molecular Physics in March/April 1995 in Edinburgh, Scotland
The concept of fundamental nuclear forces emerged gradually during the start of the 1930s and reached our present level of description some time before the 1950s. The Origin of the Concept of Nuclear
This updated edition of Collider Physics surveys the major developments in theoretical and experimental particle physics and uses numerous illustrations to show how the Standard Model explains the exp
The Particle Garden is the clearest survey of particle physics, including the theory, its experimental foundations, its relations to cosmology and astrophysics, and its future. Known as an excellent
Now back in print, The Second Creation is the intimate story of the decades-long scientific quest for "unification," a theory that draws together all matter and energy, from the hottest supernovas to
Theoretical physics has become a many-faceted science. For the young student it is difficult enough to cope with the overwhelming amount of new scientific material that has to be learned, let alone to
The Handbook of Ion Sources delivers the data needed for daily work with ion sources. It also gives information for the selection of a suitable ion source and ion production method for a specific appl
By delivering concentrated information in three different volumes, the editors of the Practical Aspects of Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry mini-series present in-depth reviews on mainstream developments in
In this absorbing account of life with the great atomic scientist Enrico Fermi, Laura Fermi tells the story of their emigration to the United States in the 1930s—part of the widespread movement of sci
An unaltered republication of the work originally published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1957, in the "Structure of Matter Series." The theory relates to a variety of physical problems includin
Even though a pygmy shrew is only three inches long, other things are smaller, including a ladybug, paramecia, bacteria, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, and quarks
