The observation of the W intermediate vector boson, the particle that
carries the weak nuclear force, is the most outstanding achievement
of the CERN laboratory in Geneva and one of the most important
advances in physics of this century. It is the successful conclusion of

Professor P. I. P. Kalmus
It is very encouraging that so many British scientists were in the team that discovered the “W boson”, and I would like to congratulate you and your colleagues from Queen Mary College on your success. I am sure that British physicists will be among the first to unify all the four basic forces
