The Discovery of Subatomic Particles
Résumé
In this absorbing commentary on the discovery of the
atom's constituents, Steven Weinberg accomplishes a
brilliant fusion of history and science. This is in effect
two books, cleverly interwoven. One is an account of a
sequence of key events in the physics of the twentieth
century, events that led to the discoveries of the
electron, proton and neutron. The other is an introduction
to those fundamentals of classical physics that played
crucial roles in these discoveries. Physical concepts are
introduced where needed to understand the historical story,
and each new concept builds on physics already
explained.
Throughout the book, connections are shown between the
historic discoveries of subatomic particles and work today
at the frontiers of physics. A final chapter describes the
discoveries of new elementary particles up to the present
day.
