Abstract
The pion was discovered in cosmic rays in 1947 by the group of physicists led by Powell with the new nuclear emulsions improved by Occhialini. An important role in this group was played by the Brazilian physicist C.M.G. Lattes who suggested the use of borax-loaded plates and obtained their range-energy relation.
