In 2000, the city of Bologna was the European Capital for Culture. For this reason, the University of Bologna and its Academy of Sciences, following the Gugliemo Marconi Centenary and the Luigi Galvani Bicentenary Celebrations, decided to call attention to the major achievements of their most distinguished members, in science and technology. This volume presents a series of inventions and technological developments, some thought of and directly implemented by Professor Antonino Zichichi, others suggested and developed under his leadership, all of them having contributed to the discovery of new particles and new phenomena in the field of subnuclear physics. The book was conceived by an eminent scientist, Professor Dr Bjorn H Wiik, Director of Germany's most prestigious physics laboratory, DESY (Hamburg). It would not be published were it not for Professor Dr Albrecht Wagner, Chairman of the DESY Board of Directors, and Dr Horst Wenninger from CERN (Geneva), an eminent European physics laboratory.

First Sentence:
During many years, the dominant detector technology used in experimental subnuclear physics has been the bubble-chamber, which contributed to the discovery of many dozens of mesons and baryons in strong interaction physics and in later years to the first evidence of neutral currents in neutrino experiment with the heavy liquid bubble chamber GARGAMELLE.
