In the 1960s, the emphasis in the study of the weak interaction shifted from strange particles to neutrinos.
After obtaining his doctorate his interest shifted to strange particles and K mesons.
This makes it relatively easy to detect strange particles through the tracks left by their decay products.
New underground detectors are being built to search for possible candidates for these strange particles.
In a laboratory in the Pyrenees, they came upon the tracks of the kaon, the first known "strange" particle.
He wrote numerous scientific papers on subjects like spectroscopy, cosmic rays and the history of strange particles.
The first was the idea of "associated production" to explain the puzzling properties of strange particles.
The cloud chamber also needs time to reset between recording events and cannot keep up with the high-energy accelerators used in studying strange particles.
The strange particles would leave a track of bubbles as they passed through the liquid, and their tracks could be photographed.
If so, could such a strange particle be produced by the LHC?
