This volume reviews the physics studied at the CERN proton-antiproton collider during its first phase of operation, from the first physics run in 1981 to the last one at the end of 1985.The volume consists of a series of review articles written by physicists who are actively involved with the collider research program. The first article describes the proton-antiproton collider facility itself, including the antiproton source and its principle of operation based on stochastic cooling.The subsequent six articles deal with the various physics subjects studied at the collider. Each article describes in detail the experimental results on a particular subject, and also provides the theoretical framework necessary for their interpretation. Finally the last two articles discuss the physics expectations from the improved collider (the so-called ACOL program, which has just started operation), and also from the next generation of “supercolliders” which are being considered both in Europe and in the United States America.Contents: The CERN pp Collider (L Evans et al.)Elastic Scattering and Total Cross-Section (A Martin & G Matthiae)Properties of Soft Proton-Antiproton Collisions (D R Ward)The Physics of Hadronic Jets (R K Ellis & W G Scott)Physics of the Intermediate Vector Bosons (G Altarelli & L Di Lella)Heavy Flavour Production (M Della Negra & G Martinelli)Searches for New Physics (J Ellis & F Pauss)Physics at the Improved CERN pp Collider (D Froidevaux & P Jenni)Physics for Future Supercolliders (G L Kane)Readership: High energy physicists.Key Features:A comprehensive introductory book by a multidisciplinary groupContains both historical background and up-to-date research resultsGives unified presentation of the electrospinning processing and nanofibers in an integrated mannerUnderstandable for newcomers and yet contains reliable resources for the expertsApproaches the subject matter from a practical standpoint
