![Pre-flight preparation of the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO). This is a converted Lockheed C-141A Starlifter aircraft, operated by NASA since 1974. Its main instrument is a 90-cm infrared telescope. The KAO can cruise at up to 12,500 meters, well above most of the atmospheric water vapor that absorbs far infrared radiation and prevents ground-based far-IR astronomy. Here, the liquid nitrogen tanks in the rear of the aircraft are being filled, venting gas producing the cloud. Liquid nitrogen is used in the cryogenics system used to maintain the temperature of the KAO's instruments to within one degree of absolute zero (-273 Celsius). NASA AMES Research Center at Moffett Field, Mt. View, California. [1992]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000KcwrrBioY6o/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000KcwrrBioY6o.jpg)
![Alan Weinstein from the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) experiment, seen with a computer-simulated collision event between an electron and a positron. The SLC produces Z-zero particles by this collision process, which takes place at energies high enough for the electron and positron to annihilate one another, the Z-zero left decaying rapidly into another electron/positron pair or a quark/anti-quark pair. The Z-zero is one of the mediators of the weak nuclear force, the force behind radioactive decay, and was discovered at CERN in 1983. The first Z-zero seen at SLC was detected on 11 April 1989.

Instrumentation displays inside the control room of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) experiment, Menlo Park, California. With a length of 3km, the Stanford Linear Accelerator is the largest of its kind in the world. The accelerator is used to produce streams of electrons and positrons, which collide at a combined energy of 100 GeV (Giga electron Volts). This massive energy is sufficient to produce Z-zero particles in the collision.

![Burton Richter (born 1931), American physicist and director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) since 1984. Richter has drawn the letter Z with his torch light, representing the Z-zero particle, one of the mediators of the weak nuclear force. In the 1960s, Richter worked on the Stanford electron storage rings, the first accelerator to collide subatomic particles together. In 1970-72, he directed the building of the SPEAR electron- positron Collider at SLAC, which yielded his discovery of the J/psi particle in 1974. For this work, Richter shared the 1976 Nobel prize in physics with Sam Ting, whose team at Brookhaven had also found the same particle.
