jazzy_daveLisa Randall "Higgs Discovery" (Bodley Head)
Surely the smallest (48 little pages) of the opportunistic books put out just after the LHC's finding of the Higgs boson, but written by a well-qualified author. Serves nicely as an easy-reading addendum to her "Knocking on Heaven's Door" and "Warped Passages".
A personal insight into the discovery of the particle that has been confirmed as the Higgs boson, or at least the simplest type of Higgs boson that carries the Higgs mechanism which gives particles mass.
In fact, this may be the first fundamental scalar particle discovered as existent scalar particles tend to composites of quarks.In some sense , this is a truly new particle which operates with a new form of space and time symmetry, such as the theory of supersymmetry, or even of space itself such as a curled up extra dimension. It could be seen as the beginning of seeing new particles associated with the Higgs field and supersymmetric particles.
Who said that the end of science is upon us based on a law of diminishing returns.
