The rise of the standard model: particle physics in the 1960s and 1970s. Papers from the 3rd international symposium on the history of particle physics, Stanford, CA, USA, June 24–27, 1992. Reprint of the 1997 ed. (English) Zbl 0997.81512
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. xxx, 714 p. (1999).
Editors Laurie Brown, Max Dresden, Lillian Hoddeson and Michael Riordan have brought together a distinguished group of elementary particle physicists and historians of science to explore the recent history of particle physics. Based on a conference held at Stanford University, this is the third volume of a series recounting the history of particle physics and offers the most up-to-date account of the rise of the Standard Model, which explains the microstructure of the world in terms of quarks and leptons and their interactions. Major contributors include Steven Weinberg, Murray Gell-Mann, Michael Redhead, Silvan Schweber, Leon Lederman and John Heilbron. The wide-ranging articles explore the detailed scientific experiments, the institutional settings in which they took place, and the ways in which the many details of the puzzle fit together to account for the Standard Model.
