The Experimental Foundations of Particle Physics 2nd Edition by Robert N. Cahn (PDF)

Description

Our current understanding of elementary particles and their interactions emerged from break-through experiments. This book presents these experiments, beginning with the discoveries of the neutron and positron, and following them through mesons, strange particles, antiparticles, and quarks and gluons. This second edition contains new chapters on the W and Z bosons, the top quark, B-meson mixing and CP violation, and neutrino oscillations. This book provides an insight into particle physics for researchers, advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Throughout the book, the fundamental equations required to understand the experiments are derived clearly and simply. Each chapter is accompanied by reprinted articles and a collection of problems with a broad range of difficulty.

⭐Yes, I can understand the material presented. It is important to know just what can be observed and what is pure whimsy in the field of particle physics. I have read the books on conceptual theory. The theory quotes these short physics letters as conclusive proof.These letters provide no proof but assertion based on assumption. The list of authors is far longer than the actual materialthat is presented. A poor quality picture of a cloud chamber by itself is not proof of anything. Later claims did not even include the picture.They must lay out the complete experiment in detail not just send a couple of sentences claiming results that rock the world.The experiment must then be replicable by a wide range of independent scientists not just two teams in the only accelerator in the world. If you were to accept solely an author’s claims as proof, then Moses did indeed talk to a burning bush! I hope there is a real extensive document foreach one of the Nobel prizes handed out to this motley crew. That would be the real Experimental Foundation of Particle Physics. I havenot seen any of those documents. Since every claim continues to be replaced by still smaller particles, then even the extensive proof is doubtful. I am grateful to Robert N. Cahn for collecting this material. It explains greatly why differing theories continue to exist and wild claims are just that, wild claims.Please understand, I am not saying that any of the particle physics claims are false. It is sufficient to acknowledge that they are contradictory, misleading, and answer very few questions about how nature works. The dismay expressed by Einstein, Feynman, Dirac, Pauli, and Planck adequately makes that point far better than anything I could write.

⭐I knew this book, it is good except that it is not the latest edition

⭐Easy to understand, good organized materials. A good book few people know.

⭐Not found.
