Book Description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM covers the Particle Physics Division of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). Departments of the division include: Astrophysics, CMS, D-Zero Experiment, Electrical Engineering, Experimental Physics, NuMI project, and Theoretical Physics. Fermilab, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a United States Department of Energy Laboratory located in Batavia, Illinois, features scientists carrying out research in high-energy physics to answer the questions: What is the universe made of? How does it work? Where did it come from? Fermilab conducts basic research into particle physics, investigating the building blocks of matter separated by the smallest distances that science has ever explored, trying to learn more about these fundamental particles and understand the forces that hold them together or force them apart. Fermilab conducts its investigations by making these particles collide. Fermilab’s four-mile Tevatron, the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator, can reach an energy level of 0.980 trillion electron volts (TeV) for each of its particle beams: clockwise-circulating protons and anticlockwise-circulating antiprotons. Coverage features dramatic color photography and extensive experimental rep! orting. This CD-ROM has over 10,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software for Windows and Mac is included. Advanced search and indexing features are built into Acrobat Reader, providing a complete full-text index. The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable! Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool. |
