Publications

  1. “On the Production of Cosmic Ray Mesotrons by Primary Protons”, Marcel Schein and J. Steinberger. Physical Review, Letters to the editor, 1947. Comments: a calculation.
  2. “On the Range of the Electrons in Meson Decay”, J. Steinberger, Phys. Rev. 75, #8, 1136,(1949). Comment: This was my thesis under Enrico Fermi. It showed that the spectrum is a continuum, and, as was seen by others, but not by Fermi and myself, that if this is combined with the muon lifetime, it demonstrated, together with the Fermi β decay theory, the Universal Fermi Interaction.
  3. “On the Use of Subraction Fields and the Lifetimes of Some Types of Meson Decay”, J. Steinberger, Phys. Rev. 76, #8, 1180,(1949). Comment: First use of the “Triangle”.
  4. “On the Polarization of Slow Neutrons”, J. Steinberger and G.C. Wick, Phys. Rev.Vol?, Letters to the Editor,994,(1949).
  5. “The Positive-Negative Ratio for π-mesons Produced Singly in Collisions of Nucleons with Complex Nuclei”, G. F. Chew and J. Steinberger. Letters to the Editor, Phys.Rev., Vol?,497(1950).

  7. “Preliminary Results on the Production of mesons by Photons on Carbon and Hydrogen”, J. Steinberger and A. S. Bishop, Phys. Rev. 78,494,(1950). Comment: First research on the properties of π-mesons using scintillation counters, then made of the organic chemical stilbene, instead of nuclear emulsions. The photons were produced on a target in the 300 MeV electron synchrotron invented and built by Edward McMillan at Berkeley.
  8. “Evidence for the Production of Neutral Mesons by Photons”, J. Steinberger, W. K. H. Panofsky and J. Steller, Phys. Rev. 78, 802,(1950). Comment: Discovery of the neutral pion.
  9. “Measurement of the Positive π-μ Decay Lifetime”, O. Chamberlain, R. F, Mozley, J. Steinberger, and C. Wiegand, Phys. Rev. 79,349(1950). Comment: Previous measurements, by Richardson and by Marinelly and Panofsky, had used the survival of the pion as function of distance, measured using photographic emulsions The technology of this experiment,, largely due to Wiegand, used photos of the muon pulse on an oscilloscope whose trace was triggered by the stopped pion. Result: τ = (2.6+/-.10)X10-8sec. In comparison, the uncertainties of Richardson and Martinelly and were 4 and 2 times larger, respectively.
  10. “Production of Positive Mesons by Photons on Hydrogen”, A. S. Bishop, J. Steinberger and L. J. Cook, Phys. Rev. 80, 291 (1950).
  11. “Detection of Positive π-Mesons by π+ Decay”, M. Jakobson, A. Schultz and J. Steinberger, Phys. Rev. 80?,894(1951). Comment: The experiment yielded a better value for the pion lifetime, τπ = (1.76+/-.08)X10-8sec.

  19. “The Internal Pair Production of γ-Rays of Mesonic Origin; Alternate methods of π0 decay”, P. Lindenfeld, A. Sachs and J. Steinberger, Phys.Rev.89,531(1953). Comments: The internal conversion of γ-rays in π0 decay and in charged pion – proton interactions has been observed, and measured, β = .0080± .0016,in agreement with expectation.
  20. “The Mass Difference of Neutral and Negative π Mesons”, W. Chinowsky and J. Steinberger, Phys.Rev.93,586(1953). Comment: mπ- – mπ0 = 8.8± .06 μe.

  21. “Differential Cross Sections for the Scattering of 58 Mev p+ Mesons in Hydrogen”, D. Bodansky, A. Sachs and J. Steinberger, Phys. Rev.90, 996(1954). Comments: Pion scattering on Hydrogen was measured at about the same time at the Chicago cyclotron, led by Fermi, and at the Columbia cyclotron. With pion beams up to 135 Mev, the Chicago experiment outranked the Columbia experiment by a factor of two. This, as well as the superior theoretical insight of Fermi, made it possible for Chicago to see the important resonance, not possible for us at Columbia.
  22. “Scattering of 65-Mev Pions in Hydrogen”, D. Bodansky, A. M. Sachs and J. Steinberger, Phys.Rev.93,1367(1954)
  23. “Absorption of Negative Pions in Deuterium : Parity of the pion”, W. Chinowsky and J. Steinberger, Phys.Rev.95,1561(1954). Comments: The angular correlation of the two neutrons from the Deuterium disintegration was observed, and this confirmed the negative parity of the pion and the nucleon.
  24. “Search for Improbable Meson Decays”, S. Lokanathan and J. Steinberger, Phys.Rev.98,220(1955). Comment: This was presented at a meeting of the American Physical Society. It was shown that the branching ratio of the pion to electron and neutrino is less than 10-5, a result of substantial significance in an argument of G. Feinberg.
  25. “Electrons from Muon Capture”, J. Steinberger and Harry B. Wolfe, Phys.Rev.100,1490(1955). Comment: An upper limit of 5×10-4 was obtained .
  26. “Reaction π– + d –>2n + π0; Parity of the Neutral Meson”, Pys.Rev.100,1476(1955). Comment: This was not very important, since it was already known that the charged pion is pseudoscalar.
  27. “Search for the β-Decay of the Pion”, S. Lokanathan and J. Steinberger, Supplemento al Volume II, Serie X del Nuovo Cimento, N. 1, 1955. Comment: Result: (π to e)/(π to μ) < 1/1000.

Comment: Following the discovery by Mel Schwartz of the Barksdale valve, which made it possible to recompress the bubble chamber sufficiently quickly for an accelerator experiment, we were able to make an experiment with our 6 inch diameter propane filled chamber at the Brookhaven Cosmotron, the first ever bubble chamber experiment. Historically, the most interesting result is the search for parity violation in the correlation between Lamda production and decay angles, which was suggested to us by T. D. Lee. The observed asymmetry, N(0°-45°)N(45°-90°) = 20/11, was however statistically too weak to permit the claim of the violation of this symmetry, established the following year by C.S. Wu.
  29. “Demonstration of the Existence of the Σ0 Hyperon and a Measurement of its Mass”, R. Plano, N. Samios, M. Schwartz and J. Steinberger, Il Nuovo Cimento, Vol.V, N. 1,216(1956).

  48. “Weak Interaction of Kaons”, J.S. Bell and J. Steinberger, Proceedings of Oxford Intl. Conf., Rutherford H,E. Lab,195(1965), Comments: I consider this the most interesting paper to which I contributed. After the discovery of CP violation by Christenson, Cronin, Fitch and Turlay, I had the idea (see T.T. Wu and C.N. Yang, Phys.Rev.Lett.13,501(1964), that the way to study CP violation in K0 decay is to use the time structure of the KS – KL interference, and then did experiments which implemented this. In his lecture, Bell evolved the important consequences of the K – K-bar mass matix and its unitarity.
  49. “KS and KL Interference in the π+π– Decay Mode, CP Invariance and the KS – KL Mass Difference”, C. Alff-Steinberger, W. Heuer, K. Kleinknecht, C. Rubbia, A. Scribano, J. Steinberger, M.J. Tannenbaum and K. Tittel. Phys.Lett.20,207(1966).

Heidelberg, Nuclear Instruments and Methods 91,221(1971). Comments: ~1968 George Charpak made the great discovery of multi wire proportional chambers, but he experimented with miniscule chambers, ~ 10cm * 10 cm. the Construction of chambers of useable size turned out to be a challenge, chiefly because longer wires under the chamber voltage were unstable and sparked. It turned out to be necessary to stabilise the wires, which we managed to accomplish with the help of platic fibers, woven transverse to the wire direction, largely the work of Trippe.

LEP Experiments with ALEPH Detector. ~ 400 authors.

  1. “Determination of the number of Light Neutrino Species”, Phys.Lett. B 231,519(1989). Comment: This was the first result, and perhaps the most important, obtained at LEP. A few weeks after turn on. ALEPH was the only one in the 4 LEP expriments which saw that a measurement of the magnitude of the Z peak can permit this measurement more quickly. This requires measurement of the luminosity, which ALEPH managed to provide, and consequently obtained a signicant result some weeks before the other three experiments.

Comments: This is my final contribution to ongoing physics; it was very difficult, particularly because of tension with other groups within ALEPH. I hope that my degrading memory will nevertheless permit a reasonable account. Rb is the branching ratio of the Z to b mesons, and interesting because of the radiative contribution of the top quark at the Z vertex. It had been measured by ALEPH (Phys.Lett. B 313,535(1993), it is puzzling that I did not find this in my stack of ALEPH publications} and by other LEP collaborations, and found to disagree with the expectations of the standard model. A basic problem in the measurement is the correlation in the measurement of the two b decay vertices. I was able to resolve this using the, at the time rather new, technique of “neural networks”. The technique was introduced to me by a group at the University of Clermont Ferrand, to whom I am most grateful. They must have thought that I did a reasonable job, because they gave me an honorary doctorat afterwards. The results agree with the standard model expectations.
