Literally thousands of elementary particles have been discovered
over the last 50 years, their properties measured, relationships
systematized, and existence and behavior explained in a myriad of
cleverly constructed theories. As the field has grown so
impressively, so has its jargon. Until now, scientists in other
fields have had no single resource from which they can quickly
reference an idea, acronym, or term and find an accessible
definition and explanation. The Handbook of Particle Physics fills
that void. This unique work contains, in encyclopedic form, terms
of interest in particle physics, including its peculiar jargon. It
covers the experimental and theoretical techniques of particle
physics along with terms from the closely related fields of
astrophysics and cosmology. Designed primarily for non-specialists
with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and relativity, the
entries preserve a degree of rigor by providing the relevant
technical and mathematical details. Clear and engaging prose,
numerous figures, and historical overviews complement the
handbook's convenience both as a reference and as an invitation
into the fascinating world of particle physics.
