Physics Lecture: "The Discovery of the Quark"

Mac Mestayer is an experimental physicist recently retired from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab), a national accelerator center for nuclear physics. At Jefferson Lab, he was responsible for the design, construction, and commissioning of the particle tracking system for the CLAS detector. His research focused on understanding the quark structure of baryons like the protons and the neutron that make up the atomic nucleus.
