Martin Lewis Perl was an American physicist who received the 1995 Nobel Prize for Physics for discovering a subatomic particle that he named the tau, a massive lepton with a negative charge. The tau, which he found in the mid-1970s, was the first evidence of a third “generation” of fundamental.

Sep 30, 2014 · The Nobel Prize in Physics 1995. Born: 24 June 1927, New York, NY, USA. Died: 30 September 2014, Palo Alto, CA, USA. Affiliation at the time of the award: Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA. Prize motivation: “for the discovery of the tau lepton”. Prize share: 1/2.
Oct 1, 2014 · Martin's main interest was to search for heavy, charged leptons, that is, leptons heavier than the muon and the electron. This led to the discovery by Martin and the SPEAR physicists of the tau lepton in the period 1974-1980. Martin and Group E were also involved in discoveries of the psi particles in 1974 and of charmed particles in 1976.
Oct 2, 2014 · Martin Perl, a particle physicist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, who died 30 September, was something of a lone wolf when he set out to see if there was another particle akin to the electron and its heavier unstable cousin, the muon.
