BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Owen Chamberlain, who shared the 1959 Nobel Prize in physics as co-discoverer of the antiproton in atomic physics, has died at age 85, officials at the University of California, Berkeley, said Wednesday.
Chamberlain, a professor emeritus of physics at the university, died Tuesday of Parkinson's disease at his Berkeley home, officials said.
Chamberlain and Berkeley physicist Emilio Segre shared the Nobel Prize for discovering the antiproton, which is the counterpart to the positively charged proton.
