Which laboratory was crucial for Kendall's Nobel-winning experiments?
SLAC
CERN
Fermilab
Brookhaven
Answer
SLAC, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, was not involved in Kendall's Nobel-winning experiments. Kendall's experiments were conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he used the Bates Linear Accelerator to study the inelastic scattering of electrons from protons. This research led to the discovery of the quark substructure of protons and neutrons, earning Kendall the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1990.
