Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Housed in a tunnel 4 m in diameter and 27 km in circumference - built to a precision of 0.1mm per km - and integrated within a complex including huge underground labs and numerous surface facilities, the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) in its time was not only the largest but also one of the most sophisticated scientific research instrument ever created by mankind . Located at CERN near Geneva, LEP was built in 1983-1989, was operational until 2000, and successfully corroborated the standard model of particle physics through continous high-precision measurements. The author, director-general of CERN in the crucial period of the making of LEP, recounts vividly the convoluted decision making and technical implementation process - the tunnel alone constituted a most challenging geological and civil engineering project - and the extremely fruitful period of scientific research right up to the difficult decision to close down LEP, even at a time where the discovery of the Higgs seemed within reach.LEP was then dismantled in 2000 and its tunnel reused for the building of the next generation machine, the much more powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC) , which is becoming operational in the fall of 2008, during the final preparation of this book. Written by the main actor in charge of making LEP a reality, this is the definitive account of the great story of a machine and the many thousands of scientists and engineers involved. The Author, director-general of CERN during the crucial period of the construction of LEP, recounts vividly the convoluted decision-making and technical implementation processes - the tunnel alone being a highly challenging geo- and civil engineering project - and the subsequent extremely fruitful period of scientific research.
