Antineutron discovery team, 1956 C014 / 2067
Antineutron discovery team, working on the focus magnet of the Bevatron Accelerator, the machine they used to create and detect the anti-particle of the neutron. From left, they are William Wenzel, Bruce Cork (died 1994), Glen Lambertson, and Oreste Piccioni (born 1915). This teams discovery of the antineutron, together with the discovery of the antiproton, confirmed Diracs prediction of antimatter. Photographed 21 September 1956, 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 the Antineutron discovery team in action, working diligently on the focus magnet of the Bevatron Accelerator. The year is 1956, and these brilliant minds are at the forefront of scientific exploration at the Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California. From left to right, we see William Wenzel, Bruce Cork (who sadly passed away in 1994), Glen Lambertson, and Oreste Piccioni. Together, they form a formidable team that would make groundbreaking contributions to particle physics. Their remarkable discovery of the antineutron was a pivotal moment in scientific history as it confirmed Paul Dirac's prediction of antimatter. This significant breakthrough went hand-in-hand with the earlier discovery of antiprotons. The image showcases not only their dedication but also highlights their expertise as physicists and researchers. Surrounded by advanced equipment and technology, these men embody an era where experimentation was key to unraveling nature's mysteries. Preserved within the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory collection as part of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), this photograph serves as a testament to their invaluable contribution to science. It stands as a reminder that through collaboration and perseverance, humanity can push boundaries and unlock new realms of knowledge. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from September 21st, 1956 - forever capturing these pioneering scientists - we are reminded of how far we have come while acknowledging that there is still so much more waiting to be discovered within our universe.
