“…The pressure was still larger than the design value, because of outgassing from the vacuum chamber steel. This was very satisfactory, and AdA always had single electrons stored in the ring to show to astonished visitors: the visible part of synchrotron light could be seen directly by the human eye [26]. All these preliminary activities were ongoing when some French colleagues from Orsay, in particular Pierre Marin, visited Frascati.…”

Bruno Touschek's life as a physicist spanned the period from World War II to the 1970s. He was a key figure in the developments of electron-positron colliders, storage rings, and gave important contributions to theoretical high energy physics. Storage rings, initially developed for high energy physics, are being widely used in many countries as synchrotron radiation sources and are a tool for research in physics, chemistry, biology environmental sciences and cultural heritage studies. We describe Touschek's life in Austria, where he was born, Germany, where he participated to the construction of a betatron during WWII, and Italy, where he proposed and led to completion the first electron-positron storage ring in 1960, in Frascati. We highlight how his central European culture influenced his life style and work, and his main contributions to physics, such as the discovery of the Touschek effect and beam instabilities in the larger storage ring ADONE.

“…The technological milestones towards electron-positron colliders can be summarized as follows. A proof-of-concept storage ring AdA at the LNF was proposed in February 1960 [87], with beam energies up to 250 MeV and a diameter of 1.3 m. The first electrons and positrons were accumulated in AdA in February 1961 [88,89]. Tests continued in 1963 at the Orsay Laboratory where the ring was moved and resulted, e.g., in the discovery of the so-called Touschek effect [90,91].…”

“…The proposal was approved on March 7th and in less than one year AdA started functioning [15,16]. As Pierre Marin would later recall [17], a team of first class scientists designed and built a small ring in which they made electrons and positrons circulate, in opposite directions, for hours.…”

This article recalls the birth of the first electron-positron storage ring AdA, and the construction of the higher energy collider ADONE, where early photon-photon collisions were observed. The events which led the Austrian physicist Bruno Touschek to propose and construct AdA will be recalled, starting with early work on the Widerøe's betatron during World War II, up to the construction of ADONE, and the theoretical contribution to radiative corrections to electron-positron collisions.
