...short-lived that their age was measured in less than a billionth of a second, their very existence inferred from the erratic tracks they left in bubble and cloud chambers. Some left no tracks at all. The list proliferated to the sound of Greek letters-eta, rho, omega, lambda, sigma, xi-until it seemed that the alphabet might...

...bubble-chamber picture (see cut), an antiproton from the Bevatron enters at bottom and hits a proton (1): out of the collision come one lambda and one anti-lambda particle. Since both are neutral electrically, they leave no tracks in the liquid hydrogen, but after a short, invisible career, each decays into track-leaving particles by which it can be identified. The lambda ( 2) turns into a proton and a negative pi meson, both of which go off the picture leaving strong curved tracks. The anti-lambda (3) turns into an antiproton and a positive pi meson. The positive...
