Papers are published by the experiments, that is why everybody in the experiment gets on the author list and there are no first author papers. But I must admit you are right, papers are in fact written by actual people, not "the experiments" Wow, you got me there buddy. Good job

What do you mean? Fermilab has published hundreds of papers(well not Fermilab but its experiments). And I just noticed in the paper mentined above they study e+ e- collisions not p+ p- so its not Fermilab. Sorry... To stay on topic another cool fact: "stewardess" is the longest word you type with left hand only.

In large collaborations when any paper gets published everybody in that collaboration gets on the author list even though most of them have probably never even read it. That one was probably published by one of Fermilab's experiments.
