The Omega Group
In the early 1970’s the Brookhaven National Laboratory Physics Department reorganized the experimental high energy physics groups. A vote was held for the name of one of the groups and the majority chose “Omega” in recognition of their discovery of the W-, the baryon made of three valence strange quarks, first seen in the BNL 80” bubble chamber in 1964.
