The 1974 photograph of Palmer and Samios was only tentatively identified by them as a charmed baryon. They were unable to rule out other possibilities, they did not fully trust the calibration of their new equipment, and they were unable to find a second example. They only released the photograph several months after Richter and Ting. In retrospect, the baryon has been identified as the Σ_c⁺⁺, but it cannot be said that this picture led to the discovery of charm.--192.35.35.34 20:02, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] beer, anyone?

I have been told (the always-reliable "classroom rumor" research source) that Glaser came up with the idea while studying (ahem) the bubble in a glass of beer... are there any authoritative sources for this story, or is it just silly? -FZ 13:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No way of measuring kinetic energy?

What about the Bethe-Bloch Equation, describing the energy loss in bubble chambers? I do not have enough experience in this field to edit the article, but i'm pretty sure that kinetic energy can be measured pretty accurately. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MikkelR (talk • contribs) 12:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
