Geiger-Marsden experiment• The Geiger-Marsden experiment (also calle
d the Gold foil experiment or the Rutherford experiment) was an experiment done by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden in 1909, under the direction of Ernest Rutherford at the Physical Laboratories of the University of Manchester which led to the downfall of the plum pudding model of the atom.
• They measured the deflection of alpha particles (helium ions with a positive charge) directed normally onto a sheet of very thin gold foil. Under the prevailing plum pudding model, the alpha particles should all have been deflected by, at most, a few degrees. However they observed that a very small percentage of particles were deflected through angles much larger than 90 degrees; some were even scattered back toward the source. From this observation Rutherford concluded that the atom contained a very physically-small (as compared with the size of the atom) positive charge, which could repel the alpha particles if they came close enough, subsequently developed into the Bohr model.
Elementary Particles discovered: 1898 1964
1953 Donald Glaser invented the bubble chamber. The Brookhaven Cosmotron, a 1.3 GeV accelerator, started operation.
Back to Year 1964
• A hundred or so types of particles were identified: – Baryons (fermion): n, p, , , ,….
– Mesons (boson) : , , …..
• Murray Gell-Mann (Mendeleev of elementary particle physics) proposed “the eightfold way” to put these particles in order, suggesting more elementary constituents: quarksquarks.– Three types of quarks, u, d and s.
– Baryons composed of 3 quarks.
– Mesons composed of 2 quarks: a quark and an antiquark.
Discovery of W and Z in 1983http://cern-discoveries.web.cern.ch/CERN-Discoveries/Courier/HeavyLight/Heavylight.html
On 25 January 1983, CERN called a press conference to announce the discovery of the W particles.
W and Z Production
Isolated, high pT leptons
Missing transverse momentum in W's
Z events provide excellent control sample
Typically small hadronic (jet) activity
Number of candidates in ~200pb-1 :

Detector Calibration: Lepton Energy Scale
Energy scale measurements drive the W mass measurement
Calibrate lepton track momentum with mass measurements
of J/and decays to
Calibrate calorimeter energy using track momentum of e
from W decays
Cross check with Z mass measurement, then add Z's as a
calibration point
