What was Homer Neal's main research focus?
My primary research focus was on hadron spectroscopy. This field is concerned with classifying and understanding the spectrum of particles composed of quarks, such as protons and neutrons. I was particularly interested in searching for and characterizing 'exotic' mesons, which are particles that don't fit the simplest quark models. Understanding these particles provides crucial insights into the complex interactions governed by the strong nuclear force.
