Introduction When I was approached by the editors of Physics in Perspecti6e to prepare an article on New York City for The Physical Tourist section, I was happy to do so. I have been a New Yorker all my life, except for short-term stays elsewhere on sabbatical leaves and other visits. My professional life developed in New York, and I married and raised my family in New York and its environs. Accordingly, writing such an article seemed a natural thing to do. About halfway through its preparation, however, the attack on the World Trade Center took place.

    The Second Lepton Family Klaus Winter, CERN The Nobel Prize for Physics for 1988 was awarded to L. Lederman, M. Schwartz and J. Steinberger for work on neutrinos in the early 1960s. In a letter [1] addressed to the "dear radioactive ladies and gentlemen", writ­ ten in December 1930, Wolfgang Pauli proposed, as a "desperate remedy" to save the principle of conservation of energy in beta-decay, the idea of the neutrino, a neutral particle of spin 1/2 and with a mass not larger than 0.01 proton mass. "The continuous beta-spectrum [2] would then become understandable by the assumption that in beta-decay a neutrino is emitted together with the electron, in such a way that the sum of the energies of the neutrino and electron is constant." Pauli did not specify at that time Fig. 1 — A recent photograph taken at CERN of Leon Lederman (left), whether the neutrino was to be ejected Jack Steinberger (centre) and Melvin Schwartz. or created.

MELVIN SCHWARTZ Courtesy of Brookhaven National Laboratories. November 2, 1932–August 28, 2006 BY N. P. SAMIOS AND P. YAMIN MEL SCHWARTZ DIED ON August 28, 2006, in Twin Falls, Idaho. He was born on 1 November 2, 1932, in New York City. He grew up in the Great Depression, but with a sense of optimism and desire to use his mind for the betterment of human- kind. He entered the Bronx High School of Science in the fall of 1945. It was there that his interest in physics began and that he recognized the importance of interactions with peers in determining his sense of direction in life. One of his classmates and future colleagues recalled that “even then” he wanted a Nobel Prize. Mel noted: My interest in physics began at the age of 12 when I entered the Bronx High School of Science. The four years I spent there were certainly among the most exciting and stimulating in my life, mostly because of the interaction with the other students of similar background, interest, and ability. MELVIN SCHWARTZ MELVIN On Sunday afternoons he attended a school run by the secular and Zionist Yiddish and many others.

  • Its Selflessness,Friendliness, Statesmanship, Helped to Establish
    Leonard I. Schiff died on January 19, 1971 in the midst of a full life, which was unusual for its selflessness, friendliness, statesmanship, and remarkable scientific productivity. He was a teacherand scholar of extraordinary breadth. In his memory and to affirm the high standards in lecturing and research that he so greatly helped to establish, it is most fitting to bring to Stanford a diverse group of outstanding physicists. The Physics Department is establishing a memorial fund, which will be used to support an annual Distinguished Lectureship for physicists of great distinction who will be invited to give a memorial lecture open to the public. Ii is hoped that sufficient funds will be raised to enable the Distinguished Lecturer on occasion to remain in the Department for an extensive stay so that he can interact with students and faculty. Contributions and pledges to the Leonard I. Schiff Memorial Fund should be mailed to the Departmentof Physics, Stanford University, California 94305.

After completing the study, however, I have a few comments to add, not as part of the report, but as my personal comments. I am sending them to see if they might also be included in the Newsletter. 1. To me, this report underscores a general lack of recognition of the contributions by accelerator science to the advancement of physics and other sciences. Indeed, the first initiation of this study has been based on the observation that accelerator science has sometimes been considered a supporting science and not quite worthy of its own standing, in spite of the wealth of facts speaking to the contrary.
