Synopsis

The book gives a quite complete and up-to-date picture of the Standard Theory with an historical perspective, with a collection of articles written by some of the protagonists of present particle physics. The theoretical developments are described together with the most up-to-date experimental tests, including the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the measurement of its mass as well as the most precise measurements of the top mass, giving the reader a complete description of our present understanding of particle physics.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Luciano Maiani is Emeritus Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Sapienza University of Rome. Together with S Glashow and J Iliopoulos, he predicted a new family of particles, those with charm, which form an essential part of the unified theory of the Weak and Electromagnetic forces. Maiani has been the president of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the Director-General of CERN and the president of the Italian National Council for Research (CNR). He is also a member of the Italian Lincean Academy and a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Luigi Rolandi is a senior research staff at CERN and Professor of Experimental High Energy Physics at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. He was spokesperson of the ALEPH collaboration that operated a detector at the LEP accelerator. Rolandi was responsible for the construction of the largest silicon tracker ever built and was the physics analysis coordinator during the start-up phase of the CMS in 2010-2011 which prepared for the Higgs Boson discovery. He is a member of the editorial boards of the Physics Letters B and the Journal of High Energy Physics, a scientific adviser to the director of JHEP, and a member of the Accademia Pontaniana.
