As a professor at Stanford University , Richter built a Particle Accelerator called SPEAR (Stanford Positron-Electron Asymmetric Ring) with the help of David Ritson and the support of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission . With it he discovered a new Subatomic Particle he called a psi particle (now called a J/ψ Particle ). The same discovery was made independently by Samuel Ting and the two scientists were jointly awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize In Physics for their work. EXTERNAL LINKS
