| 书目名称 | Particle Accelerators: From Big Bang Physics to Hadron Therapy | | 编辑 | Ugo Amaldi | | 视频video | | | 概述 | Presents the history of particle accelerators and of their inventors and promoters.Contains personal recollections of fifty years spent in a growing international laboratory, CERN.Illustrates the path | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | .Rather than focusing on the contributions of theoretical physicists to the understanding of the subatomic world and of the beginning of the universe - as most popular science books on particle physics do - this book is different in that, firstly, the main focus is on machine inventors and builders and, secondly, particle accelerators are not only described as discovery tools but also for their contributions to tumour diagnosis and therapy. The characters of well-known (e.g. Ernest Lawrence) and mostly unknown actors (e.g. Nicholas Christofilos) are outlined, including many colourful quotations. The overall picture supports the author’s motto: “Physics is beautiful .and. useful”..Advance appraisal:.“Accelerators go all the way from the unique and gargantuan Large Hadron Collider to thousands of smaller versions in hospitals and industry. Ugo Amaldi has experience across the range. He has worked at CERN and has for many years been driving the application ofaccelerators in medicine. This is a must-read introduction to this frontier of modern technology, written beautifully by a world expert.”.Frank Close, Professor of Physics at Oxford University .author of ".The Infinity Puzzle.".“T | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | CERN Conseil Européen Pour la Recherche; Cancer Diagnostic and Therapy; Cosmogenesis; Healing Cancer wi | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-08870-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-08869-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-08870-9 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
