From the (psi) to charmed mesons
Abstract
This talk deals with the author's recollections about the discoveries of the J/(psi) the (psi)(prime) as well as psion spectroscopy and charmed mesons. He gives a chronology for the (psi) and (psi)(prime) discoveries. He also discusses the events which led to the charmed meson discovery as well as detailed discussions on the proof that the resonance observed in the K(sup -) (pi)(sup +) system, at 1,865 MeV, was indeed the predicted charmed meson.
