Antiproton research, 1958 C014 / 2068
Antiproton research. US physicists Bruce Cork (left) and Glenn Lamberston (right) at the Bevatron Accelerator that has been configured for antiproton research. The discovery of the antiproton by Emilio Segre and Owen Chamberlain in 1955, together with the 1956 discovery of the antiproton (by a team that included both Cork and Lambertson), confirmed Diracs prediction of antimatter. Photographed 10 April 1958, at the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley, California, USA. This photograph, from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory collection, is part of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of scientific discovery. Taken on April 10,1958, at the Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California, it showcases two pioneering US physicists engaged in antiproton research. On the left stands Bruce Cork while Glenn Lamberston is positioned on the right. The Bevatron Accelerator looms behind them, configured specifically for this groundbreaking study. The antiproton's existence was first confirmed by Emilio Segre and Owen Chamberlain in 1955, aligning with physicist Paul Dirac's prediction of antimatter. Notably, both Cork and Lambertson were part of a team that discovered the antiproton just two years later. In this image from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's collection as part of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), we witness these brilliant minds delving into particle physics during an era defined by technological advancements. Their intense focus is evident as they manipulate equipment within their laboratory setting. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and our relentless pursuit to unravel nature's mysteries. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication and ingenuity displayed by scientists throughout history who have pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of the universe.
