Reviews

Praise for the first edition Franklin's excellent book is especially welcome and timely. It tells us much about the history of the neutrino and related physics.... It deserves a wide readership. -William Evenson, History of Physics Newsletter


Author Information

Allan D. Franklin is professor of physics emeritus at the University of Colorado. He began his career as an experimental high-energy physicist and later changed his research area to history and philosophy of science, particularly on the roles of experiment. In 2016, Franklin received the Abraham Pais Prize for History of Physics from the American Physical Society. He is the author of twelve books including most recently Shifting Standards: Experiments in Particle Physics in the Twentieth Century, What Makes a Good Experiment? Reasons and Roles in Science, and Is It the Same Result? Replication in Physics Alysia D. Marino is a member of the physics faculty at the University of Colorado.
