The discovery of weak neutral currents was a significant step toward the unification of electromagnetism and the weak force into the electroweak force.
Violette Brisson played an active part in the discovery of neutral currents; she was head of the Gargamelle group at the Laboratory of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris
CERN Science Gateway will host its first scientific event to celebrate 50 years since Gargamelle discovered neutral currents and 40 years since UA1 and UA2 discovered the W and Z bosons
On 31 October 2023, we mark the 50th anniversary of the observation of neutral currents and the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the W and the Z bosons with a symposium in the new Science Gateway auditorium
