A smiling Sam Ting at his experiment at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings where he continues the search for leptons which has dominated his research life. md5:e9ac905b2b0146b0e5e41fb13d075245	508.6 kB	Preview Download
The double arm spectrometer of the MIT/ Brookhaven beam which detected electronpositron pairs coming from the decay of the JI psi particle. The measurement of the decay in the midst of a very high background from other interactions was a triumph of experimental technique.

The famous magnetic detector of the Berkeley I Stanford team which surrounds one of the intersection regions at the SLAC SPEAR electron-positron storage ring. This detector found the J/psi and several other members of the 'charmonium' family of particles and, this year, has added the discovery of charmed mesons.

Dave Jackson's 'very sharp peak' in the number of theoretical papers stemming from a small number of experimental results. It illustrates what the discovery of J/psi has meant in attempting to interpret the workings of Nature. md5:55012f3aed1c4077c9d9331472062b7e	278.9 kB	Preview Download
One of our favourite cartoons from the era of the discovery of the J/psi is this projection by Bob Gould from SLAC of the reaction of the 'man in the street' at a time when high energy physicists were in a state of euphoria. Salutary reminder to all who attempt to popularize science. md5:f0e9a97b3df5b64975b338107d2751fa	311.8 kB	Preview Download
