Description

Many of the physicists working in this field were not alive in 1974 and many others have not heard of the November Revolution. We give that name to an event at the SLAC Auditorium on November 11, 1974 when teams from Brookhaven and SLAC announced the remarkable results that heralded the discovery of the fourth quark, charm. This discovery led, very quickly, to the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
