The electron
development of the first elementary particle theory
pp. 331-369
Abstract
It is fair to say that the history of the electron lies in the very centre of the development of modern physics. It is therefore most appropriate to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the discovery of the electron (by Thomson) by reviewing its history and reporting on the present state of the classical theory.
