Opis: Exploring the Mystery of Matter - Claudia Marcelloni, Kenway Smith, Kerry-Jane Lowery

ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN headquarters in Switzerland. This new atom smasher, the result of more than eighteen years of research, design and construction is a 7000 ton behemoth of metal, glass, cables and computer chips, with 27km of underground tunnels and thousands of magnets operating at below -270 Celsius. Protons, travelling at nearly the speed of light, collide within the heart of ATLAS, sending out showers of debris to recreate 30 million times a second the conditions that existed millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the event that many physicists believe set our universe in motion. The ATLAS experiment is the result of a Herculean collaboration of more than 2000 engineers and physicists from 36 countries. This is the fully-documented story of an extraordinary feat of engineering that may change our understanding of how our universe came into being. "This is an excellent book to enjoy the visual splendor and the intellectual excitement of ATLAS detector." scienceblogs.com
