The long-lived K meson was discovered at Brookhaven.

When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.
Quotation of James Cronin
|
While at Chicago my interest in the new field of particle physics was stimulated by a course given by Gell- Mann, who was developing his ideas about Strangeness at the time.
