Dimuons at Fermilab suggest new form of hadronic matter

JAN 01, 1976

DOI: 10.1063/1.3023255

Neutrino experiments at Fermilab conducted over the past two years, in which pairs of muons are produced, appear to show the existence of a new form of hadronic matter. The discovery suggests that matter carrying a new quantum number has been observed. This quantum number is often generically referred to as “charm.”
