Abstract: Oreste Piccioni, the physicist who went to court to seek recognition for his role in the discovery of the antiproton, has died at the age of 86. In 1972 Piccioni filed a lawsuit against Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain because he felt that they had overlooked his contribution to their Nobel-prize-winning discovery. Segrè and Chamberlain had, at Piccioni's suggestion, used magnetic quadrupole lenses to guide the antiprotons to their detector.The law suit was dismissed because it was filed too late.
