The Magnetic Levitation Electrometer: The Searches for Quarks and the Electron-Proton Charge Difference

  • Chapter
Fundamental Symmetries

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((EMISS,volume 31))

Abstract

The original subject of these lectures had to be the electron-proton charge difference;but because such a measurement has been,infact, a byproduct of a much longer experiment — the search of quarks in matter — and because both experiments use the same instrument and imply similar problems, I thought that it might be advisable to start describing the experiment of search for quarks.
