Introduction |
| The discoveries of the W and Z bosons at CERN in 1983 must rank among the greatest achievements in the history of science. They were the culmination of deep theoretical inspiration, technological excellence, dedicated experimentation, and team-work on a scale never before seen in the realm of pure science. These articles from the CERN COURIER commemorates these momentous exploits. The first article is a general story of the significance of the discoveries and how they came about. Then we trace in more detail the evolution of the new physics ideas that the W and Z discoveries have confirmed, the development at CERN of the techniques that made the experiments possible, and finally, the course of the two experiments themselves.
