Lepton Physics At Cern And Frascati

Reprinted in honour of Antonino Zichichi, this work covers probably the most intense period in his scientific career, 1959-1976. It includes reprints of articles and some laboratory reports from the programme which laid the foundations for the discovery by M. Perl of the heavy lepton.

This reprint volume is in honour of one of the leaders of Italian high-energy physics, Antonino Zichichi, who is now 65 years old. It covers the first part of his activity: the years 1959-1976, probably the most intense of his scientific career. The volume includes reprints of articles and of some published laboratory reports, documenting the extraordinary constancy of Zichichi in a scientific programme which spanned more than a decade and laid the foundations for the subsequent discovery by M Perl of the heavy lepton, HL (now called τ), first proposed and searched for at CERN and Frascati by Zichichi in the early sixties.
