Owen Chamberlain (1920–2019) was an American physicist best known for his contributions to the field of particle physics. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1959, along with Emilio Segrè, for the discovery of the antiproton, a particle that is the antimatter counterpart of the proton. Their work significantly advanced the understanding of particle-antiparticle pairs and contributed to the development of modern particle physics.
