Perspectives on LHC Physics by Gordon Kane (Editor), Aaron Pierce

From the Publisher

At $8 billion, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's largest, highest energy and highest intensity particle accelerator. Last week, physicists around the world celebrated its activation and the first tests of the LHC, which they hope will unlock the secrets of the universe and its origins.

This timely book provides an overview of the techniques that will be crucial for finding new physics at the LHC as well as perspectives on the implications of the discoveries that are about to take place there. Among the numerous accomplished contributors to this book are leaders and visionaries in the field of particle physics, including two Nobel Laureates (Steven Weinberg and Frank Wilczek) and a number of other top theorists and experimenters. Given the upcoming developments that are about to take place at CERN, Perspectives on LHC Physics will have wide appeal, not only to physical scientists but also to those in related fields.
