The pictures on the front cover show two Higgs boson production events obtained at the LHC accelerator at CERN. The larger circle shows the decay of the Higgs to four electrons (indicated by the blue and red lines) obtained by the ATLAS collaboration and the smaller circle shows the decay of the Higgs to two gamma rays (indicated by the green lines) obtained by the CMS collaboration.
‘But why are such terrific efforts made just to find new particles?’ asked Mr Tompkins.
‘Well, this is science,’ replied the professor, ‘the attempt of the human mind to understand everything around us, be it giant stellar galaxies, microscopic bacteria, or these elementary particles. It is interesting and exciting, and that is why we are doing it.’

Editors' preface to the Manchester Physics Series
The Manchester Physics Series is a set of textbooks at first degree level. It grew out of the experience at the University of Manchester, widely shared elsewhere, that many textbooks contain much more material than can be accommodated in a typical undergraduate course; and that this material is only rarely so arranged as to allow the definition of a short self-contained course. The plan for this series was to produce short books so that lecturers would find them attractive for undergraduate courses, and so that students would not be frightened off by their encyclopaedic size or price. To achieve this, we have been very selective in the choice of topics, with the emphasis on the basic physics together with some instructive, stimulating and useful applications.
