Particle physics, one hundred years of dicoveries: an annotated chronological bibliography

Several years before the official start of the 20th century, a series of milestone physics experiments pioneered the science which eventually became to be known as particle physics. A new book by several authors from the COMPAS group at the Institute for High Energy Physics, Protvino, near Moscow, and from the Particle Data Group effort at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, reinforced by J.D. Jackson, has compiled a useful summary and bibliography of more than 500 key papers marking the development of particle physics from 1895 to the discovery of the top quark in 1995. Some 70 percent of the listed papers are post World War 2. The book is comprehensively indexed, including members of large collaborations and providing a useful benchmark. However actual entries confusingly use the first listed member of the collaboborations, even if a Nobel Prize was subsequently awarded to another member of the team.
