The book culminates with a description of the Large Hadron Collider, one of the world's largest and most complex machines operating in a 27-km circumference tunnel near Geneva. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book provides the material honestly without misrepresenting the science for the sake of excitement or glossing over difficult notions. The principles behind each type of accelerator is made accessible to the undergraduate student and even to a lay reader with cartoons, illustrations and metaphors. Simultaneously, the book also caters to different levels of reader's background and provides additional materials for the more interested or diligent reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raghavan Jayakumar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642445624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642445620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Raghavan Jayakumar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072203145471,"sku":"9783642445620","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8862cfae-93fb-4d1d-8aa2-5f4dd9a48cb1.jpg?v=1753416098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/particle-accelerators-colliders-and-the-raghavan-jayakumar-9783642445620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
