CERN - First Period (1961-1968)

During this period I was involved in the measurement of the pion β-decay rate. The pion β-decay (π+ → πo + e+ + ν) was proposed by Feynman and Gell-Mann as a check of their Conserved Vector Current (CVC) theory. Our group was also able to collect π+ → e+ + ν + γ events which were used to get information on the axial-vector form factor.
