Pion discovery
Abstract
Past work on mesons is discussed, and the conclusions of the work of Lattes, Occhialini, and Powell concerning mesons are reported. The physics of pions and particle acceleration are discussed. In particular, the artificial production of the pion, the neutral pion, and pion mass, are reported. First mass measurements of pions and muons are given. Early measurements of charged pion lifetime and average lifetime are given. Measurements of pion spin and parity and nuclear interactions of pions are discussed.
