Additional resources¶

To be filled during the semester.

Lecture 16¶

• Gluon discovery at DESY
• The Discovery of the Gluon (John Ellis)
• Discovery papers by TASSO JADE MARK-J PLUTO
• A Spin 0/1/2 analysis by the SLD collaboration. Note that this paper is just chosen for the easy to read plot corresponding to our lecture discussion of $x_1$, $x_2$ and $x_3$, not because the gluon's spin 1 nature was only established there in 1996 (see references within that paper).

Lecture 14¶

• Structure function F2 measurement; Bjorken scaling (violation)

Lecture 13¶

• e+e- to mu+ mu- at PEP, SLAC
