摘要

寻找左手W±玻色子，弱相互作用的量子，以及自发打破电磁和弱相互作用统一对称性的希格斯玻色子，从我进入大学到现在，一直推动着基本粒子物理学的研究，并导致了许多意想不到的令人兴奋的发现，这些发现彻底改变了我们对亚核物理的看法。在这篇文章中，我描述了这些搜索和发现是如何与我自己的职业交织在一起的。

Waiting for the W

The search for the left-handed W ^± bosons, the proposed quanta of the weak interaction, and the Higgs boson, which spontaneously breaks the symmetry of unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions, has driven elementary-particle physics research from the time that I entered college to the present and has led to many unexpected and exciting discoveries which revolutionized our view of subnuclear physics over that period. In this article I describe how these searches and discoveries have intertwined with my own career.

期刊介绍： The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works. The scope explicitly includes: - Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics. - Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts. - Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.
