| Citation | Distinguished for contributions to experimental particle physics. He made, by measuring forward proton proton cross-sections one of the first tests of dispersion relations. His measurement of meson nucleon total cross sections provided data at a crucial period in establishing the SU(3) scheme, and his K+p scattering studies gave definitive phase shifts. He published the first results from CERN's SPS accelerator, the study of dilepton production illuminating the understanding of the quark structure of matter. He heads one of our leading counter groups and has played a major role in collider experiments seeking the quantum of the weak force. |
