This volume derives from a graduate lecture course delivered by Vladimir Gribov, one of the founding fathers of high-energy elementary particle physics, in the 1970s. Covering a combination of topics not treated elsewhere, this 2008 title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's largest and highest energy and highest intensity particle accelerator. Here is a timely book with several perspectives on the hoped-for discoveries from the LHC. This book provides an overview on the techniques that will be crucial for finding new physics at the LHC, as well as perspectives on the importance and implications of the discoveries. Among the accomplished contributors to this book are leaders and visionaries in the field of particle physics beyond the Standard Model, including two Nobel Laureates (Steven Weinberg and Frank Wilczek), and presumably some future Nobel Laureates, plus top younger theorists and experimenters. With its blend of popular and technical contents, the book will have wide appeal, not only to physical scientists but also to those in related fields. The LHC - A "Why" Machine and a Supersymmetry Factory (G Kane) Dark Matter at the LHC (A Pierce) LHC's ATLAS and CMS Detectors (M Spiropulu & S Stapnes) Understanding the Standard Model, as a Bridge to the Discovery of New Phenomena at the LHC (M L Mangano) Thoughts on a Long Voyage (L Susskind) The "Top Priority" at the LHC (T Han) LHC Discoveries Unfolded (J Lykken & M Spiropulu) From BCS to the LHC (S Weinberg) Searching for Gluinos at the Tevatron and Beyond (J Alwall et al.) Naturally Speaking: The Naturalness Criterion and Physics at the LHC (G F Giudice) Prospects for Higgs Boson Searches at the LHC (K Jakobs & M Schumacher) A Review of Spin Determination at the LHC (L-T Wang & I Yavin) Anticipating a New Golden Age (F Wilczek) Strongly Interacting Electroweak Theories and Their Five-Dimensional Analogs at the LHC (A Pomarol) How to Find a Hidden World at the LHC (J D Wells) B Physics at LHCb (M P Altarelli & F Teubert) The LHC and the Universe at Large (P Binétruy).

"This book is written by the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to document and reflect on its more than 25 years of history. It covers all aspects of this global science project at the forefront of particle physics. The historical part recalls first the early stages of discussions in the community leading to the formation of the collaboration in 1992. In a unique approach, the second part documents the evolution from early detector concepts to the final instrument, covering the technical, financial and human aspects. This includes the phases of construction of detector components in the various institutes around the world as well as their installation and commissioning in the underground cavern at CERN. An important part is devoted to the operation of the whole experiment. The book highlights the capabilities and physics accomplishments so far, including the Higgs boson discovery (jointly announced with CMS). It features the various aspects of a broad spectrum of activities needed to arrive at the physics results. The book includes also an outlook to the detector upgrade activities preparing the experiment for the high-luminosity LHC phase of the next decades. Last but not least, it reveals the human aspects of the large ATLAS community working together pursuing common physics goals. The book is aimed at a broad readership with interest in large science projects and their history, as well as in the human endeavour of a worldwide collaboration."--

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest engineering project ever undertaken, and one of the most expensive. Why are physicists around the world so excited about it? What secrets of the universe does this gargantuan piece of machinery hope to reveal? What risks are there in operating it? Could the exotic particles that are produced in the collisions including tiny black holes that should wink into and out of existence between subatomic particles be a threat not only to humankind but to the planet itself? In this thorough and engaging review of cutting-edge physics and cosmology, you will learn why the collider was built and how it works. You will find out what scientists are hoping to find out and what current aspects of the Standard Model might need to be revised. You will even learn about the quest to identify so-called dark matter and dark energy, which many now feel make up most of what's out there. This is a wild ride into some very unfamiliar and strange territory, but it is well worth your time to explore, as the Large Hadron Collider is set to change some very fundamental ideas of our universe, from the smallest pieces that make it up to the grandest.
