From the PS to the LHC - 50 Years of Nobel Memories in High-Energy Physics

From the PS to the LHC - 50 Years of Nobel Memories in High-Energy Physics edited by Luis Alvarez-Gaumé, Michelangelo Mangano, Emmanuel Tsesmelis.

This collection of lectures and essays by eminent researchers in the field, many of them nobel laureates, is an outgrow of a special event held at CERN in late 2009, coinciding with the start of LHC operations. Careful transcriptions of the lectures have been worked out, subsequently validated and e...
