Particle accelerators and discoveries in elementary particle physics

Some discoveries in elementary particle physics are recounted from personal and historical perspective with particular reference to their interaction with particle accelerators. The particle examples chosen include the ψ/J, the Υ, and the study of nucleon constituents with inelastic electron scattering. Precursors experiments are cited together with the better known discoveries.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87362/2/2280_1.pd
