Resources

The Nobel Prize website [1] is a valuable historical reference (probably because lots of the people who did this work won them). For a detailed look at high energy experiments, see FermiLab's exhibit [2]. General information and links are on the course website, [3]. Books (yes, actual books) are on reserve for your use in the SJS library. See especially [4].

  1. Nobel Prizes
  2. Search for the Building Blocks
  3. AP Physics C1 website Particle Physics page
  4. Lederman, chapter 6
