Bruno Touschek in Glasgow. The making of a theoretical physicist
Giulia Pancheri, Luisa Bonolis
In the history of the discovery tools of last century particle physics, central stage is taken by elementary particle accelerators and in particular by colliders. In their start an…
Bruno Touschek in Germany after the War: 1945-46
Luisa Bonolis, Giulia Pancheri
Bruno Touschek was an Austrian born theoretical physicist, who proposed and built the first electron-positron collider in 1960 in the Frascati National Laboratories in Italy. In th…
Touschek with AdA in Orsay and the first direct observation of electron-positron collisions
Giulia Pancheri, Luisa Bonolis
We describe how the first direct observation of electron-positron collisions took place in 1963-1964 at the Laboratoire de l'Accélérateur Linéaire d'Orsay, in France, with the stor…
The path to high-energy electron-positron colliders: from Wideroe's betatron to Touschek's AdA and to LEP
Giulia Pancheri, Luisa Bonolis
We describe the road which led to the construction and exploitation of electron positron colliders, hightlighting how the young physics student Bruno Touschek met the Norwegian eng…
The Charm of Theoretical Physics (1958-1993)
Luciano Maiani, Luisa Bonolis
Personal recollections on theoretical particle physics in the years when the Standard Theory was formed. In the background, the remarkable development of Italian theoretical physic…
From cosmic ray physics to cosmic ray astronomy: Bruno Rossi and the opening of new windows on the universe
Luisa Bonolis
Bruno Rossi is considered one of the fathers of modern physics, being also a pioneer in virtually every aspect of what is today called high-energy astrophysics. At the beginning of…
