But before the Higgs was found, its existence was hotly debated—and only a multi-billion-dollar machine could resolve the many vying theories on this fundamental question: Why do some particles have mass? In this first insider account of the spectacular inaugural experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, physicist Jon Butterworth captures a moment unlike any other in the annals of science—when the entire field of particle physics hinged on a single theory, and one experiment would prove or disprove the life’s work of the world’s most esteemed theoretical physicists. Most Wanted Particle deftly chronicles how scientists “replayed” the Big Bang by smashing subatomic particles at unthinkable speeds—and explains why, after our first glimpse of the Higgs, physics will never be the same. 600 10 $a Butterworth, Jon $x Career in physics. 610 20 $a European Organization for Nuclear Research. 650 0 $a Large Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland) 650 0 $a Higgs bosons. 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $a Butterworth, Joh. $t Smashing physics $d London : Headline Publshing Group, 2014 $z 9781472210302. 941 $a 12 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024110.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518015955.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717025857.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006083453.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131015749.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826105835.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160518010753.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20151022113636.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926032057.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20150606010922.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150502024149.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20150425010904.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A33B9960CF8F11E4B7D588F2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
