Each pop-out genuinely illuminates the workings of the detector and the interactions of the particles it hopes to find
Nature
In
this unique collaboration between CERN and renowned paper engineer
Anton Radevsky, 7000 tonnes of metal, glass, plastic, cables and
computer chips leap from the page in miniature pop-up, to tell the
story of CERN’s quest to understand the birth of the universe. Protons,
travelling at nearly the speed of light, collide within the heart of
the ATLAS detector, sending out showers of debris to recreate 40
million times a second the conditions that existed millionths of a
second after the Big Bang, the event that set our universe in motion.
Now
all ages can join the ATLAS experiment on this fascinating journey to
the beginnings of the universe in this astonishing pop-up book.
