Although the book relates to the important discovery of neutrinos, it is more intimately about Fred Reines than the technical details of neutrino physics. Narrated in a fashion to interest and excite the reader, the science presented here is accessible to a broad audience. Coursing through Reines' life, his various challenges and encounters, the book reveals constants of his persona. Reines displayed a sustained consistency as a respected leader, admired by students and colleagues as a fount of big ideas and ambition. A continuing source of inspiration and motivation to others, his most basic consistency was his passion for science. The quest for knowledge about the wondrous universe is a profoundly human endeavor. Fred Reines' life and his unremitting scientific curiosity are emblematic of that truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Beginnings:\tChallenge, Determination, and Thinking Big; Language, Science, and the Ghost Particle; Becoming:\tBecoming a Physicist; The Einstein Letter, the Hidden City, and the Bomb; From Bombs to Neutrinos; Discovery:\tExplosive Ideas; Hanford and Savannah River; Clyde Cowan; Moving:\tMoving to Case Institute; California: New University, New Dean; Transition Years at Irvine; Expressions:\tThe \"Other\" Fred: Music, Performance, Musings; Science and Religion; Classroom Teacher; Validation:\tIMB and a Decade of Joy and Frustration; Super-K, SNO, and Oscillations; The Nobel Prize and the Last Years; The Legacy Grows; Epilogue; Appendix: An Endearing Reminiscence; Acknowledgements; Endnotes; Index;","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047252427095,"sku":"9789811231056","price":61.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789811231056.jpg?v=1750970840","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chasing-the-ghost-nobelist-fred-reines-and-the-neutrino-9789811231056","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
