This image may not be used to state or imply endorsement by CERN of any product, activity or service Ting's charmed particle discovery lecture at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, in 1974. US physicist Samuel Ting (born 1936) was one of the recent co-discoverers of charmed particles (specifically the J/psi meson). He and others had carried out this work earlier in the year at particle accelerators in the USA (Ting worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory). The ground-breaking discovery revolutionised particle physics as part of what is now known as the 'November Revolution'. The results were announced on 11 November 1974. Here, Ting is lecturing to a packed audience at CERN on 21 November 1974. Two years later, Ting shared the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery.
