Ihr mögt Quantenphysik, Kosmologie und den Humor der Serie¿The Big Bang Theory? Ihr seid auf der Suche nach einer lustigen, unkomplizierten Erklärung für die Physik, die hinter Zeitreisen, Wurmlöchern, Antimaterie und Dunkler Energie steckt? All d...
50 Years Of Quarks
'Harald Fritzsch and Murray Gell-Mann, the two fathers of quantum chromodynamics, look back at the events that led to the discovery, and eventually acceptance, of quarks as constituent particles ... it is always worthwhile to reminisce about those...
Quarks to Culture
Our world is nested, both physically and socially, and at each level we find innovations that are necessary for the next. Consider: atoms combine to form molecules, molecules combine to form single-celled organisms; when people come together, they...
Baby Loves Quarks!
Big, brainy science for the littlest listeners Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for baby, this book explores the basics of particle physics and chemistry quarks, protons, neutrons, atoms and molecules and ties it all to baby s world. Beautiful, visually stimulating illustrations complement age-appropriate language to encourage baby s sense of wonder. Parents and caregivers may learn a thing or two, as well '
Fields, Symmetries, and Quarks
This textbook covers elements of quantum field theory, symmetry principles, gauge field theories and phenomenological descriptions of hadrons, with special emphasis on topics relevant to hadron and nuclear physics. Written at an introductory level...
Quarks, Chaos & Christianity
Templeton Award winner and theoretical physicist John Polkinghorne explores the gap between science and religion. "Do we have to choose between the scientific and religious views of the world, or are they complementary understandings that giv...
Constructing Quarks
Recounts the history of the post-war conceptual development of elementary-particle physics. Inviting a reappraisal of the status of scientific knowledge, the text suggests that scientists are not mere passive observers and reporters of nature. Rat...
Physics: a short history from quintessence to quarks
How does the physics we know today - a highly professionalised enterprise, inextricably linked to government and industry - link back to its origins as a liberal art in Ancient Greece? What is the path that leads from the old philosophy of nature ...
Quarks, Leptons and the Big Bang
CHOICE: Highly Recommended Quarks, Leptons and The Big Bang, Third Edition, is a clear, readable and self-contained introduction to particle physics and related areas of cosmology. It bridges the gap between non-technical popular accounts and text...
Quarks and Leptones
This self-contained text describes breakthroughs in our understanding of the structure and interactions of elementary particles. It provides students of theoretical or experimental physics with the background material to grasp the significance of ...
Murray Gell-Mann and the Physics of Quarks
Murray Gell-Mann, Physics Nobel Prize Laureate in 1969 ¿is known for his theoretical work on elementary particle physics and the introduction of quarks and together with H. Fritzsch the "Quantum Chromodynamics". Based on four sections th...
From Quanta To Quarks: More Anecdotal History Of Physics
This enlightening book, a sequel to QUIPS, QUOTES, AND QUANTA, helps readers to understand how physicists think about and look at the world. Starting with the discovery and investigation of cosmic rays, the book proceeds to cover some major areas ...
Quarks, Leptons And Gauge Fields (2nd Edition)
This is perhaps the most up-to-date book on Modern Elementary Particle Physics. The main content is an introduction to Yang-Mills fields, and the Standard Model of Particle Physics. A concise introduction to quarks is provided, with a discussion o...
Pions to Quarks
Editors Laurie Brown, Max Dresden and Lillian Hoddeson have assembled a prestigious group of physicists and historians of science to present a broadly balanced picture of this exciting scientific era that witnessed the coming of age of particle ph...
Preons: Models Of Leptons, Quarks And Gauge Bosons As Composite Objects
There are a number of unanswered questions which indicate that the Standard Model, successful as it is, cannot be the entire story. One solution to answering these questions is that the Standard Model is an effective low-energy theory of structure...
