History of discovering Particles (breaking down the Atom)

A Crash Course in particle Physics with Brian Green: (13:01) part 1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVxBdMxgVX0 Thomson (electrons and the muffin model), Rutherford (gold foil experiment, protons & neutrons and the solar system model) , bubble chambers and particle accelerators

Part 2 and 3 (27:08)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGWlT8SqXLM Forces, James Clerk Maxwell (unification of E and M and eventually EM and W), uses of positrons (PET), Enrico Fermi (weak nuclear force), Richard Feynman (mathematical wave particle dual nature of light), Einstein (photoelectric effect force carrier particles and the Higgs, the Large Hadron Collider)

Major Accelerators in the world• SLAC: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, in California, discovered the charm quark (also

discovered at Brookhaven) and tau lepton; ran an accelerator producing huge numbers of B mesons.

• Fermilab: Fermi National Laboratory Accelerator, in Illinois, where the bottom and top quarks and the tau neutrino were discovered.

• CERN: European Laboratory for Particle Physics, crossing the Swiss-French border, where the W and Z particles were discovered.

• BNL: Brookhaven National Lab, in New York, simultaneously with SLAC discovered the charm quark.

• CESR: Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring, in New York. CESR performed detailed studies of the bottom quark.

• DESY: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, in Germany; gluons were discovered here.

• KEK: High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, in Japan, is now running an accelerator producing huge numbers of B mesons.

• IHEP: Institute for High-Energy Physics, in the People's Republic of China, performs detailed studies of the tau lepton and charm quark.
