1984E. Amaldi From the discovery of the neutron to the discovery of nuclear fission Physics Reports 111 (1984) 1 - See in particular section 3 devoted to the neutrino] [In ref. [277], it is quoted: “The name “neutrino” (a funny and grammatically incorrect contraction of “little neutron” in Italian: neutronino) entered the international terminology through Fermi, who started to use it sometime between the conference in Paris in July 1932 and the Solvay Conference in October 1933 where Pauli used it. The word came out in a humorous conversation at the Istituto di Via Panisperna. Fermi, Amaldi and few other were present and Fermi was explaining Pauli’s hypothesis about his “light neutron”. For distinguishing this particle from the Chadwick neutron Amaldi jokingly used this funny name, - says Occhialini, who recalls of having shortly later told this little story in Cambridge.”review physrep history

2013D.H. Perkins An early neutrino experiment: how we missed quark substructure in 1963European Physical Journal H 38 (2013) 713 - Some 50 years after the event seems to be an appropriate time at which to take a long look back at one of the early neutrino experiments at CERN. This report is principally about a failure in a 1963 bubble chamber experiment to detect substructure in the nucleon, a year before the quark concept was invented by Gell-Mann and Zweig, and some five years before the existence of quarks as real dynamical objects was definitely established in deep inelastic electron scattering experiments at Stanford.history
