A Sixty Year Journey 1896 1956
The book explores the evolution of atomic and nuclear physics, highlighting the interplay between technological advancements and theoretical developments. It provides insights into how innovations have allowed physicists to investigate the properties of atomic nuclei, emphasizing the essential relationship between scientific theory and technological progress.
"Unravelling the Mystery of the Atomic Nucleus" explores the history of atomic and nuclear physics from the discovery of radioactivity in 1896 to the 1950s. It highlights how technological advances shaped experimental and theoretical developments, offering insights into the relationship between theory and technology. Ideal for physicists and science historians.
Physicists who wish to understand the modeling of confinement of quantum chromodynamics, as exhibited by dual superconductors, will find this book an excellent introduction. The author focuses on the models themselves, especially the Landau--Ginzburg model of a dual superconductor, also called the Dual Abelian Higgs model. The book addresses graduate students and researchers, and is noteworthy for the remarkable clarity of its exposition.
