Mr. Anderson also discovered two other fundamental particles of matter, called positive and negative mesons.

He turned down an offer to direct development of the atomic bomb, a job that eventually went to J. Robert Oppenheimer, but worked on a project during World War II that focused on how to fire rockets from aircraft. In 1944, he supervised the installation of the first aircraft rockets on Allied planes.

Mr. Anderson was also a board of trustees professor emeritus at the California Institute of Technology.
