Some Important Contributions
Measured lifetime of K Mesons
Measured lifetime of tau mesons
Measured mass of K meson
Measured spin of K* meson, with Gerson Goldhaber
Early observations of interaction between K mesons and protons
First to observe mass splitting of charged sigma hyperons, with Gerson Goldhaber
Using nuclear emulsion techniques, first to observe nuclear interactions of antiproton
Observed interactions of pi+ and pi- mesons
Observation of three pion resonance
Detected anti-proton annihilation process; K plus nuclear interaction, Sigma plus - Sigma minus electromagnetic
mass difference, dynamics of elementary particle resonance and
double resonance formation.
Co-discoverer of A mesons.
Credited with the simultaneous production
of pairs of resonant states, with Gerson Goldhaber; devised "triangle
diagram"
