“…This conference also saw the first presentation of the Dalitz Plot in the analysis of Kπ3 decay. Undoubtedly, however, the prize for the best experimental contribution went to Bob Thompson of Indiana (17). He had developed cloud chamber technology to a fine art, practically eliminating gas distortions, and produced the first clean separation between the decays of lambda hyperons and neutral kaons, and the first precision measurements of the decay K • s → π + + π − .…”

■ Abstract This account recalls early observations of elementary particles from cosmic ray experiments, using the nuclear emulsion technique. Discoveries in this field in the 1940s and 50s led to the development of high energy particle accelerators and associated detectors, resulting eventually in the observation of the quark and lepton constituents of matter and of the fundamental interactions between them, as described in the Standard Model. The concept of unification of the fundamental interactions led to the prediction of proton decay, and although this has not been observed, the unwanted background due to atmospheric neutrino interactions led to the discovery of neutrino oscillations and neutrino mass, and the first indications of new physics beyond that of the Standard Model. In all this research, unexpected developments have often played an important role. CONTENTS
