Carried by History: Cesar Lattes, Nuclear Emulsions, and the Discovery of the Pi-meson (2014)

unapi

We analyze the role played by the Brazilian physicist Cesar Lattes (1924--2005) in the historical development of the nuclear emulsion technique and in the co-discovery of the pion. His works influenced and gave impetus to the development of experimental physics in Brazil, the foundation of a national center dedicated to physics research, the beginnings of Brazilian Big Science, and the inauguration of a long-lasting collaboration between Brazil and Japan in the field of comic ray physics.
