Emilio Picasso
Emilio Picasso (1927–2014) was an Italian experimental physicist who led the CERN muon storage-ring experiments and directed the construction and early operation of the LEP collider.
Ettore Pancini
Ettore Pancini (1915–1981) was an Italian experimental physicist who, with Conversi and Piccioni, showed in Rome that the muon decays spontaneously, disproving its identification as Yukawa's nuclear-force meson.
Giorgio Bellettini
Giorgio Bellettini is an Italian experimental particle physicist who helped found the CDF experiment at Fermilab and was co-spokesperson when the top quark was discovered in 1995.
Marcello Conversi
Marcello Conversi (1917–1988) was an Italian experimental physicist who led the 1946–47 Rome cosmic-ray experiment showing the muon is not the Yukawa nuclear-force particle, and later directed the building of CEP, the first Italian electronic computer.
Oreste Piccioni
Oreste Piccioni (1915–2002) was an Italian experimental particle physicist, the last of Enrico Fermi's students, who co-discovered the antineutron in 1956 and long disputed his exclusion from the 1955 antiproton discovery.
Silvia Amerio
Silvia Amerio is an Italian experimental particle physicist at the University of Padua who co-authored the 2004 design paper for the ICARUS T600, the first large-scale liquid-argon time-projection chamber, and worked on CDF and LHCb.
