The quark model was independently proposed by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1964. This was well before computers were powerful enough to analyze any data from particle accelerator collision observations (the CDC 6600 supercomputer was just introduced that year).
The devices for making these observations at the time were cloud chambers, bubble chambers, spark chambers, etc. and photographs of the trails were taken and visually analyzed by humans.
It probably was not until the late 1960s when minicomputers became widely available that data from more advanced detectors could be collected and the data disks or tapes taken to large scientific mainframes for computer analysis.
So the actual technologies used to develop the model were:
- particle accelerators - e.g. van de graaff machines, cyclotrons, synchrotrons, betatrons
- detection devices - e.g. cloud chambers, bubble chambers, spark chambers
- Photography
- measurement tools - e.g. protractors, length scales
- electromechanical calculators
- etc.

Robert Hook's discoveries helped scientists make improvements to the telescope. The discovery of telescopes help explain the solar system and the stars.
What improvements in technology helped people learn more about life on other planets?
Telescope.
What are quarks made of?
In the Standard Model, quarks are fundamental particles. As such, they are not made up other particles. They either exist as quarks, or not at all. Like all matter they can be converted into energy, but quarks are the building blocks of hadrons like the proton and neutron. Links can be found below to learn more.
Why do scientists read?
To learn.
To learn from a model scientist must?
to learn from a model scientists must?
What 5 things help scientists learn about climate change?
with technology
What are 3 ways space exploration has helped scientists?
It has helped the scientists predict the weather, learn how the planets actually are, and understand what space actually is.
How do scientists learn things with technology?
Because science involves technology and technology involves science. Without one of them, the other will be soo useless..
What is contained in oxygen?
Up quarks Down quarks Bottom quarks Top Quarks Charm quarks Strange Quarks and then there were leptons... simple- 8 protons 8 electrons 8 Neutrons and if you're dumb and you mean what is in air, then why don't you learn how to google
What new technology developed by engineers helped scientists learn more about quarks?
Perhaps the most significant technology engineers have developed to meet design requirements of scientists who seek to probe the world of particle physics in general and quarks in particular, has been the particle accelerator. Whether they would be considered new is a matter of definition; the cyclotron dates back to Lawrence's design in 1932, but improved techniques and increased power has broadened the scope of the particles that can be created through improved designs and techniques since that time. Per the mass-energy equivalence formula, the higher the speed of the collision, the higher the mass of the particle that can be created; for the up quark this is somewhere around 2.3 MeV, for the heaviest - the top quark - the mass is significantly greater at about 173 GeV.

How did the advancements in technology contribute to European imperialism?
technology = know how. what did new imperialism learn how to do?
How have scientists learned so much about cells in the last 350 years?
the invention of the simple microscope by Robert hooke facilitated the initial study of cells.later the invention of the complex microscope and more recently the electronic microscope helped the scientists to learn so much about the microscopic cells.
Studying earthquakes has helped scientists to learn more about what?
They have given us important information about the internal structure of the Earth.
What did scientists learn about it?
Scientists learn a few different things. Scientists learn new things very day.
