Presenting an overview of developments in and components of the standard model of particle physics, this book examines the issues confronting those working in the field. It focuses on the three areas of elementary particle physics - CP violation, the physics of neutrinos, particularly neutrino mass, and the search for the Higgs boson. > \nThe search for the elementary constituents of the physical universe and the interactions between them has transformed over time and continues to evolve today, as we seek answers to questions about the existence of stars, galaxies, and humankind. Integrating both theoretical and experimental work, Exploring Fundamental Particles traces the development of this fascinating field, from the discoveries of Newton, Fermi, and Feynman to the detection of CP violation and neutrinos to the quest to observe the Higgs boson and beyond. \nAn Accessible yet In-Depth Account of How Fundamental Particles Shape Our World\nThe book first examines the experiments a.
