Marco Sozzi
Associate Professor in Physics
University of Pisa
Piazza dei Cavalieri 7 -
56126 Pisa
Italy Studied in Torino, where he received his Ph.D. in elementary
particle physics. Involved in particle physics experiments at
Fermilab and CERN, where he spent several years as a fellow and a
research associate. His main areas of research is CP violation, and
he worked in the NA48 experiment at CERN which proved the
existence of direct CP violation in kaon decays, since its
beginning, and participated to the follow-up program in NA48/1 and
NA48/2, of which he is deputy spokesman.
He is author of about 70 articles and monographies in international
journals.He has been teaching courses in general physics, particle
physics and CP violation to undergraduate and graduate students at
the Scuola Normale and the Universities of Pisa and Firenze, as
well at international schools.
Since 2003 he has habilitation for associate professorship in
physics.
`Sozzi, himself a prominent researcher in the important quest to
understand violations of discrete symmetries, presents a
comprehensive picture of this critical subject in fundamental
particle physics. Background and all major developments are covered
with an unusual degree of thoroughness. Where the book is
particularly valuable is in its historical perspective and its
treatment of experimentation. Key experiments are described with
emphasis on aspects of
implementation which made discovery possible. There is much to be
valued here, for both experimentalists and theorists.This may be
the only such book which includes a chapter on one of the most
important
topics in experimental physics: systematic errors.'

`A unique contribution to the available texts on these topics.'
