<Melvin Schwartz> helped develop accelerator <neutrino> beams and coauthored the discovery of distinct electron and muon <neutrino flavors>. Letting secondary <mesons> decay and shielding the charged products supplied a penetrating beam. Its interactions revealed predominantly <muons>, connecting the production process with the flavor of the outgoing <lepton>.<Observation of High-Energy Neutrino Reactions and the Existence of Two Kinds of Neutrinos by G. Danby and others>[1962, meson-decay beam, shielding and muon-producing reactions]{ref}
