Chamberlain shared the 1959 Nobel Prize for physics with Emilio Segre for their discovery of the antiproton, the antiparticle (same mass, different charge) of the proton. The antiproton had been predicted by Dirac in the 1930s, but it was not until 1955 that Chamberlain and Segre, both physicists at UC Berkeley, were able to confirm the particle's existence experimentally using the University of California's new Bevatron particle accelerator. The third, fourth and fifth papers offered here describe some of Chamberlain's antiproton work; no. 5 is his Nobel Lecture. The first and second papers offered here describe Chamberlain's early research on proton-proton scattering, undertaken with experimental physicist Clyde Wiegand.
