Cecil Frank Powell's research into cloud chambers and the detection of subatomic particles led to his development of photographic emulsion systems to detect and identify fast-moving particles, especially those found in cosmic rays.
Powell was born on November 5, 1903, at Tonbridge, Kent, England.

Powell was Director of a European expedition for making high-altitude balloon flights in Sardinia (1952) and in the Po Valley (1954, 1955, and 1957).
This development led him to a study of the scattering and disintegration processes produced by a beam of high-energy deuterons and he later returned, with the development of photographic emulsions of increased sensitivity, to experiments on cosmic radiation: in 1947 heavy mesons were discovered and many of their more important properties established.
Powell married Isobel Therese Artner, who has assisted him in his researches, in 1932; they have two daughters.

In 1947 Cecil Frank Powell and co-workers located what he believed to be pion bosons in cosmic rays, Each form has a slightly different mass, all decay in less then a second, and are composite particles of quarks.

This led to his discovery of the pion (meson) 1947, a particle whose existence had been predicted by Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa 1935.
The technique received a boost with the development of more sensitive emulsions during World War II and Powell used it in his discovery of the pion.
He collaborated with Italian physicist Giuseppe Occhialini (1907-), and together they published Nuclear Physics in Photographs 1947, which became a standard text on the subject.

He convinced a British group headed by Cecil Frank Powell to study the effect of stopping cosmic rays in photographic emulsions exposed at high altitudes.
Lattes, Giuseppe Occhialini and Powell performed experiments at Chacaltaya that showed that charged mesons brought to rest in photographic emulsions lead to the production of secondary mesons.
This was the key discovery that led to Yukawa and Powell receiving the Nobel Prize in 1949 and 1950, respectively.
