A <particle physicist> who wrote a historical analysis of the <Stern-Gerlach experiment>. It distinguishes the experiment's original proposal and interpretation from its later connection with <electron spin>, and discusses the different problem of performing an analogous measurement on free <electrons>. This helps prevent later quantum concepts from being read back into the original experimental argument.<The Stern-Gerlach Experiment and the Electron Spin by Sandip Pakvasa>[Abstract: proposal, reception, interpretation and free-electron question]{ref}
