How Many Particles Have Been Discovered At CERN?
According to Wikipedia, ‘ Several important achievements in particle physics have been made during experiments at CERN. These include, but are not limited to, the following. 1973: The discovery of neutral currents in the Gargamelle bubble chamber. 1983: The discovery of W and Z bosons in the UA1 and UA2 experiments. 1989: The determination of the number of neutrino families at the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) operating on the Z boson peak. 1995: The first creation of antihydrogen atoms in the PS210 experiment. 1999: The discovery of the direct CP-violation in the NA48 experiment. The 1984 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer for the developments that led to the discoveries of the W and Z bosons.’ Turning to the future: – The LHC is intended to look for the Higg’s boson and physics beyond the standard model of particle physics such as super symmetry and dark matter/energy candidates. The standard model does not predict that the LHC will pro
