This book provides a comprehensive overview of modern particle physics
accessible to anyone with a true passion for wanting to know how the universe
works. We are introduced to the known particles of the world we live in. An
elegant explanation of quantum mechanics and relativity paves the way for an
understanding of the laws that govern particle physics. These laws are put into
action in the world of accelerators, colliders and detectros found at
institutions such as CERN and Fermilab that are in the forefront of technical
innovation. Real world and theory meet using Feynman diagrams to solve the
problems of infinities and deduce the need for the Higgs boson.
