Thomas Ypsilantis coauthored the 1955 identification of the antiproton. Selecting a negative particle's momentum was insufficient because lighter negative particles were much more abundant. Measuring its speed as well supplied a mass test. The experiment combined magnetic selection, timed scintillation signals and velocity-sensitive Cherenkov detectors, connecting complementary measurements to a particle identity rather than relying on negative electric charge alone.[ref]
