Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, located in the western
suburbs of Chicago, has stood at the frontier of high-energy
physics for forty years. "Fermilab "is the first history of this
laboratory and of its powerful accelerators told from the point of
view of the people who built and used them for scientific
discovery.
Focusing on the first two decades of research at Fermilab, during
the tenure of the laboratory's charismatic first two directors,
Robert R. Wilson and Leon M. Lederman, the book traces the rise of
what they call "megascience," the collaborative struggle to conduct
large-scale international experiments in a climate of limited
federal funding. In the midst of this new climate, "Fermilab
"illuminates the growth of the modern research laboratory during
the Cold War and captures the drama of human exploration at the
cutting edge of science.
