Prestigious Discoveries at CERN 1973 Neutral Currents 1983 W & Z Bosons

The discoveries of neutral currents and of the W and Z bosons marked a watershed in the history of CERN. They established the validity of the electroweak theory and convinced physicists of the importance of renormalizable non-Abelian gauge theories of fundamental interactions. The articles collected...
