Editing suggestions

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Minor edits for language and inclusion of information from the DESY main article, also linking to the DORIS accelerator, where more information about the OLYMPUS detector can be found. Redactrice at DESY (talk) 11:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thank you. I've implemented your requests, providing a source for your Fermilab bit as well. PK650 (talk) 07:57, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested new text (by Redactrice at DESY)

ARGUS (A Russian-German-United States-Swedish Collaboration; later joined by Canada and the former Yugoslavia) was a particle physics experiment that ran at the electron–positron collider ring DORIS II at the German national laboratory DESY. Its aim was to explore properties of charm and bottom quarks. Its construction started in 1979, the detector was commissioned in 1982 and operated until 1992.

The ARGUS detector was a hermetic detector with 90% coverage of the full solid angle. It had drift chambers, a time-of-flight system, an electromagnetic calorimeter and a muon chamber system. ^[1]

It is the first experiment that observed the conversion of a B meson into its antiparticle, the anti-B meson (in 1987).^[2] This observation led to the conclusion that the second-heaviest quark – the bottom quark – could under certain circumstances convert into a different, hitherto unknown quark, which had to have a huge mass. This quark, the top quark, was discovered in 1995 at Fermilab.

The ARGUS distribution is named after the experiment. In 2010, the former site of ARGUS at DORISbecame the location of the OLYMPUS experiment.^[3]
