Simon Van der Meer (born 1925),Dutch particle physicist,at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva,Switzerland. In the early 1970s Van der Meer invented a technique for storing and concentrating antiprotons so that they would form a dense beam. This method,called stochastic cooling,was used in CERN's antiproton accumulator,from which antiprotons were injected into the super-proton-synchrotron (SPS) accelerator and collided with protons. Experiments in the SPS lead to the 1983 discovery of the W and Z particles,the mediators of the weak nuclear force,for which Van der Meer shared the 1984 Nobel Prize for physics with Carlo Rubbia | |
