Engines of Discovery: A Century of Particle Accelerators (Revised and Expanded Edition,by Andrew Sessler and Edmund Wilson, World Scientific, 2007)

摘要

In the first edition of Engines of Discovery. Andrew Sessler and Edmund Wilson presented their compelling case for considering particle accelerators to be the most readily recognizable characteristic of "big science." That book, written in highly readable language, aimed at illuminating the rich and expanding dimensions of an intellectual enterprise that remains far too little known to the general public and even to many academics outside of the scientific fields dominated by accelerators as their most consequential single research tool.
