The Multiwire Chamber

Important Discoveries

    The multiwire chamber has been used in numerous particle physics experiments, several of which have led to important discoveries - the discovery of the J/ particle (composed of charm quarks), the Y(ypsilon) particle (composed of beauty quarks), the W and Z particles (the mediators of the weak interaction) and the top quark, just to mention a few.
