This book tells the story of a unique scientific and human
adventure, following the life and science of Bruno Touschek, an
Austrian born physicist, who conceived and built AdA, the first
matter-antimatter colliding-beam storage ring, the ancestor of the
Large Hadron Collider at CERN where the Higgs Boson was discovered
in 2012. Making extensive use of archival sources and personal
correspondence, the author offers for the first time a unified
history of European efforts to build modern-day particle
accelerators, from the dark times of war-ravaged Europe up to the
rebuilding of science in Germany, UK, Italy and France through the
1950s and early 1960s. This book, the result of several years of
scholarly research work, includes numerous previously unpublished
photos as well as original drawings by Bruno Touschek.
