Upsilon discovery<br />

In 1977, Lederman repeated Ting’s experiment with a more<br />

powerful beam and ano<strong>the</strong>r detec<strong>to</strong>r,<br />

<strong>An</strong>d discovered Υ and Υ ′<br />

Immediately interpreted as (b ¯ b)<br />

See chapter on mesons,<br />

Already Lederman noticed Υ ′ − Υ ψ ′ − J.ψ,<br />

<strong>An</strong>d asked local <strong>the</strong>orists about a potential such that all ∆E are<br />

independent of <strong>the</strong> reduced mass,<br />

<strong>An</strong>swer: V (r) ∝ ln r<br />

B mesons and B baryons also discovered,<br />

As well as Bc = (b¯c)<br />
