Quotes[edit]
- One of the most natural questions when one looks at the mass of uncorrelated data on elementary particle interactions is whether a systematic pattern is emerging from this complexity. The penetration of controlled laboratory experiments into the multi-Bev energy region can only make such a question more acute.
