"Introduction à la physique des particules élémentaires, décrivant les concepts et les découvertes scientifiques, telles que le boson de Higgs, à l'origine de la masse."--Memento.
'The Origin of Mass' is a guided tour of cosmic evolution, from tiny fractions of a second after the Big Bang to the elementary particles that we study in our accelerators today. The guiding principle of this book is a concept of symmetry which, in a profound and fascinating way…
