Biography
Rene Turlay was one of the four discoverers of charge-parity violation.
In 1957, he joined the CEA laboratory. His first work with the Saturne synchrotron concerned the study of pi meson production in nucelon-nucleon collisions at 2.3 GeV. After his doctoral thesis, he went to Princeton as a post-doc.
From 1962 to 1964 he played a major role in all phases of the memorable experiment at Brookhaven's accelerator where the CP violation phenomenon in weak interactions was discovered.
