Die Entdeckung des t Lepton Nobelpreis 1995: Martin L. Perl
Literatur • Reflections on the Discovery of the Tau Lepton, M.L. Perl, Nobel Lecture (1995) • Evidence for Anomalous Lepton Production in e+e- Annihilation, M.L.Perl et al., Phys. Rev. Letters 35 (1975) 1489 • Review of t Lepton Properties, G.L.Feldman, SLAC-PUP-2230 (1978)
Inhalt der Vorlesung • Status der Hochenergiephysik um 1975 • Warum Suche nach (schweren) Leptonen? • Experimentelle Methoden • Detektor und Meßmethode • Das neue Teilchen U (=unknown) • Zerfall und Nachweis • Bestätigung des t • Zusammenfassung und Ausblick
Warum e+e- Collider? • e+e-: Wechelwirkung berechenbar • Collider: Energie = Masse • Warum Large Hadron Collider?
Feldman et al, 1977 Mark I @ SPEAR • Detectors cover polar angles 50° q 130°, and all azimuthal angles. • 4kG field applied for momentum analysis. • Particles produced pass through: • Inner trigger counters (3mm scintillators), to eliminate the cosmic ray background. • 4 sets of spark chambers. • Outer trigger counters (25mm scintillators), to measure the time of flight. • A 9cm Al coil (24g cm-2). • An array of lead-scintillator shower counters (160g cm-2: 5 radiation lengths).
Mark I @ SPEAR • A 20cm Fe yoke (160g cm-2), which filters hadrons. • 2 sets of spark chambers. • Interspersed slabs of barite loaded concrete (222g cm-2) and spark chambers, to detect muons only. • To reach level 2, a particle must pass through 65cm of Fe (equivalent), and possess p = 910 MeV c-1.

The Generations of Matter • Note that both quarks and leptons exist in three distinct sets. • Each set of quark and lepton charge types is called a generation of matter (charges +2/3, -1/3, 0, and -1 as you go down each generation). • The generations are organized by increasing mass. • All visible matter in the universe is made from the first generation of matter particles -- up quarks, down quarks, and electrons. • This is because all second and third generation particles are unstable and quickly decay into stable first generation particles.
