Weak Neutral Currents: The Discovery of the Elecro-Weak Force (Frontiers in Physics) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

For their monumental work on the unification of the electromagnetic and weak-nuclear forces, now called the electro-weak force, Abdus Salam, Sheldon Glashow, and Steven Weinberg received the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics. In this collection of classic papers, David Cline, a distinguished particle physicist at UCLA, brings together for the first time the scientific papers that trace the discovery of the electro-weak force. Cline sets the stage for each of eight sections of papers with an introduction that puts the papers in historical and scientific perspective. This book should prove useful for both graduate students and professionals in high-energy and particle physics, and in cosmology.
