In this Very Short Introduction, Frank Close explores the subatomic particles that make up the Universe. He considers particles such as quarks, electrons, and the ghostly neutrino, as well as antimatter, and discusses the powerful accelerators in which particle interactions and decays are studied, and discoveries of new particles are made. Close discusses how our picture of the world has been radically revised in the light of these discoveries and what the next 50 years of research might reveal.
