Description

This lively well-illustrated collection of articles written by a group of particle physicists at Los Alamos National Laboratory presents to the expert and non-expert alike a comprehensive overview of the major theoretical and experimental advances of the past twenty years.

It explains the emergence of a profoundly new understanding of the fundamental forces of Nature.

With the unification of the weak and electromagnetic interaction, physicists now stand at the brink of a complete unification of all the forces, including gravity.

This achievement brought with it a rich vocabulary of names and concepts: quarks, gluons and nonabelian gauge theories.

The exposition of these ideas, done on a variety of technical levels is designed to interest a broad audience ranging from the professional theorist and experimentalist to the inquisitive student.

Anyone with an interest in particle physics can enjoy this book.
