Third International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics to be Held June 24-27, 1992 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

1992年6月24日至27日，在斯坦福直线加速器中心举行了一次关于粒子物理学历史的国际研讨会。这是自1980年费米国家加速器实验室开始的一系列此类聚会中的第三次。这些会议的一个主要目标是确定主要主题和关键问题，从而为现代物理学的一个重要领域的未来历史研究奠定基础。本次研讨会将探讨的主题包括大型国际科学合作的发展，从固定目标到碰撞束实验模式的转变，弱力和电磁力的统一，以及基本粒子的夸克模型的发展。在集中讨论粒子物理学中“标准模型的兴起”的同时，研讨会并没有忽视这一主流之外的粒子物理学。关于发现违章行为的论文正在进行。通过将一群杰出的科学家与著名的历史学家、社会学家和科学哲学家聚集在一起，组织者旨在促进在撰写近代科学史方面的跨学科合作，并进一步发展利用主要贡献者的个人回忆作为历史研究工具的方法。研讨会的会议记录正在被仔细编辑，广泛引用，并补充了一篇讨论标准模型发展的历史背景的引言。

An International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics is being held at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center from June 24- 27, 1992. This is the third in a series of such gathering that began at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in 1980. A primary goal of these meetings is to identify principal themes and critical problems, thereby laying the basis for future historical studies of an important area of modern physics. Themes to be explored in this symposium include the growth of large international scientific collaborations, the transition from fixed- target to colliding beam modes of experimentation, the unification of the weak and the electromagnetic forces, and the development of the quark model of elementary particles. While concentrating on the "Rise of the Standard Model" in particle physics, the symposium is not ignoring particle physics outside of this mainstream--eg. papers are being given on the discovery of CP-violation. By bringing together a group of prominent scientists together with leading historians, sociologists and philosophers of science, the organizers aim to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in writing the history of recent science and to develop further the methodology of using personal recollections of major contributors as a tool for historical research. The proceedings of the symposium are being carefully edited, extensively referenced and supplemented with an introduction that discusses the historical context in which the development of the standard model occurred.
