This book contains 13 papers that reflect the development of neutrino interactions with the electrons and protons in a fixed-target experiment that, beginning in 1980, grew out of the formal collaboration in high energy physics between Japanese and American institutions. These experiments were crucial to the merger of quantum electrodynamics and ...
The development of an American science establishment -- today an amalgam of scientists, engineers, universities, industrial laboratories, and federal science agencies -- began early in the twentieth century when the federal government began to invest in a national scientific infrastructure. During World War II this investment swelled to colossal ...
Shadow of a Star commemorates the 10th anniversary of a supernova explosion. The author, a leading member of a prize-winning team of astrophysicists who followed the event, explains in everyday language its significance for scientists. The book tells the story of a single experimental discovery, how neutrinos carry the news of the death of a star ...
This volume brings together articles on the subject of weak neutral currents from leading international researchers in the field of particle physics. The search for weak neutral currents began in the 1960s with the developmentof the Standard Model of Weinberg-Salam-Glashow, developed through the discoveries in the 1970s and 1980s of sub-atomic ...
