Book Description:
|
China has begun laying the groundwork for a giant accelerator - up to 100 kilometres in circumference - that would transport physics into a previously inaccessible, high-energy realm where a host of new particles, and perhaps a sweeping new symmetry, might be found. This book explains how an ambitious new machine on this scale could provide us with a fuller understanding of the origins of our universe and its most basic constituents.
