Very Elementary Particle Physics
Physics Nobel Laureate 1999
by Prof M.J.G. Veltman
- Abstract:
In this lecture a very elementary introduction to particle physics will be given. First an introduction to methods and experiments, including a short description of the big particle accelerators such as at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Next a description of the theoretical methods is given, with the aim of explaining the essentials of modern particle theory.
