  • A Descoberta Dos Mésons
    SEARA DA CIÊNCIA CURIOSIDADES DA FÍSICA José Maria Bassalo A Descoberta dos Mésons. Em verbetes desta série, vimos que os mésons (nome cunhado em 1939) são Partículas Elementares de spin inteiro (0 ou 1), sensíveis às interações eletromagnética, fraca e forte, obedecem à Estatística de Bose-Einstein (1924) (portanto são bósons) e são reunidas em famílias (píons, káons, eta, rho, ômega, phi, psigions, charmosos e B). Como naqueles verbetes também falamos da descoberta dessas partículas, neste verbete vamos destacar outros aspectos dessa mesma descoberta. Os primeiros mésons encontrados foram os píons-mais/menos ( ), nas experiências realizadas com raios cósmicos, em 1947 (Nature 160, pgs. 453; 486; Proceedings of the Royal Society of London 61, p. 173), nos Alpes franceses e nos Andes bolivianos, das quais participaram os físicos, os ingleses Sir Cecil Frank Powell (1903-1969; PNF, 1950) e Hugh Muirhead (1925-2007), o brasileiro Cesare (César) Mansueto Giulio Lattes (1924-2005) e o italiano Guiseppe Pablo Stanislao Occhialini (1907-1993), que trabalhavam na Universidade de Bristol, na Inglaterra, logo conhecido como o famoso Grupo de Bristol. Nessas experiências, eles calcularam a massa dessas partículas como sendo: , onde representa a massa do elétron. Registre-se que essas partículas foram produzidas artificialmente, o píon-menos ( ), em 1948 (Science 107, p. 270), pelo físico norte-americano Eugene Gardner (1913-1950) e por Lattes, e o píon-mais ( ), em 1949 (Physical Review 75, p. 382), por John Burfening, Gardner e Lattes. Nessas experiências, realizadas no sincrocíclotron, o acelerador de partículas- da Universidade de Berkeley, na Califórnia, eles estimaram a massa desses píons carregados em torno de 300 me.

Jamir Governor, Odisha Raj Bhawan Bhubaneswar-751 008 August 13, 2013 EMSSSEM I am glad to know that the School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University, like previous years is organizing a Seminar on "Nobel Prize" on August 24, 2013. The Nobel Prize instituted on the lines of its mentor and founder Alfred Nobel's last will to establish a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind’ is widely regarded as the most coveted international award given in recognition to excellent work done in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Prize since its introduction in 1901 has a very impressive list of winners and each of them has their own story of success. It is heartening that a seminar is being organized annually focusing on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Nobel laureates of that particular year. The initiative is indeed laudable as it will help teachers as well as students a lot in knowing more about the works of illustrious recipients and drawing inspiration to excel and work for the betterment of mankind. I am sure the proceeding to be brought out on the occasion will be highly enlightening.
