    Astronomy Cast Episode 207 Lyman Spitzer _____________________________________________________________________ Fraser: Astronomy Cast Episode 207 for Monday November 15, 2010, Lyman Spitzer. Welcome to Astronomy Cast, our weekly facts-based journey through the cosmos, where we help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know. My name is Fraser Cain, I'm the publisher of Universe Today, and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Hi, Pamela, how are you doing? Pamela: I’m doing well. How are you doing, Fraser? Fraser: Good... how is your spare bedroom doing? Pamela: My spare bedroom is less overwhelmingly filled with things, but a new shipment is coming soon so please order more t-shirts... and we have skinny-people ones, too! Fraser: Great! So as we mentioned in the last show, we’ve got t-shirts, CDs, posters, all kinds of cool Astronomy Cast related stuff available. You just go to astrogear.org and see what we have on offer... and, yeah, you can buy it and clear out Pamela’s spare bedroom. Pamela: And I have to congratulate our audience because you guys are overwhelmingly thin! It was the most surreal discovery. Smalls and mediums sold out first and that was awesome and odd... Fraser: Lots of kids, too... that’s great. Pamela: Yeah. Fraser: Alright, well time for another action-packed double episode of Astronomy Cast. This week we focus on Lyman Spitzer, a theoretical physicist and astronomer who worked on star formation and plasma physics, and of course this will lead us into next week’s episode where we talk about the mission that bears his name, the Spitzer Space Telescope.

    CERNNovember/December 2020 cerncourier.com COURIERReporting on international high-energy physics WLCOMEE CERN Courier – digital edition ADVANCING Welcome to the digital edition of the November/December 2020 issue of CERN Courier. CAVITY Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities drive accelerators around the world, TECHNOLOGY transferring energy efficiently from high-power radio waves to beams of charged particles. Behind the march to higher SRF-cavity performance is the TESLA Technology Neutrinos for peace Collaboration (p35), which was established in 1990 to advance technology for a linear Feebly interacting particles electron–positron collider. Though the linear collider envisaged by TESLA is yet ALICE’s dark side to be built (p9), its cavity technology is already established at the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser at DESY (a cavity string for which graces the cover of this edition) and is being applied at similar broad-user-base facilities in the US and China. Accelerator technology developed for fundamental physics also continues to impact the medical arena. Normal-conducting RF technology developed for the proposed Compact Linear Collider at CERN is now being applied to a first-of-a-kind “FLASH-therapy” facility that uses electrons to destroy deep-seated tumours (p7), while proton beams are being used for novel non-invasive treatments of cardiac arrhythmias (p49). Meanwhile, GANIL’s innovative new SPIRAL2 linac will advance a wide range of applications in nuclear physics (p39). Detector technology also continues to offer unpredictable benefits – a powerful example being the potential for detectors developed to search for sterile neutrinos to replace increasingly outmoded traditional approaches to nuclear nonproliferation (p30).

    EDWARD A. FRIEMAN SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY, UC SAN DIEGO SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY, 19 january 1926 . 11 april 2013 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 160, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2016 Frieman.indd 283 10/5/2016 2:09:47 PM biographical memoirs T IS HARD TO GET A MEMORIAL RIGHT, especially for someone who was instrumental in your own life. None of us ever sees the I whole picture. We form a construct in our minds from a few emotionally salient incidents—the ones salient to us. We connect these dots. The longer we have known the person, the more the salient incidents stand out. The more important the person has been to our lives, the less we want to rethink, for that could be unsettling. The lazy part of our mind is content to let our mental picture rest safely where it is. I began to get a rounder picture of my teacher and colleague Ed Frieman during his memorial service at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. There I realized how much I had missed. Different people saw different facets of his life. It was richer than I thought, and I thought I knew him well. The historical Frieman began to emerge in fuzzy outline. Yet his memorial service did not tell me what I now wish I had known. I began to feel that even together we, the ones asked to speak, could never see the whole arc of Ed Frieman’s uncommon journey through life. We saw his world as we saw him, and the important thing is to see his world as he saw it, his life as he lived it.

Hardy, Supervising Professor Casey Graham Brown John P. Connolly Copyright © by Andrew Barbee 2016 All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. James Hardy for his willingness to serve on my committee when the university required me to restart the dissertation process. He helped me work through frustration, brainstorm ideas, and develop a meaningful study. Thank you to the other members of the dissertation committee, including Dr. Casey Brown and Dr. John Connolly. Also, I need to thank Andy Herzog with the university library. His willingness to locate needed resources, and provide insightful and informative research techniques was very helpful. I also want to thank Dr. Florence Haseltine with the RAISE project for communicating with me and sharing award data. And thank you, Dr. Hardy, for introducing me to Dr. Steven Bourgeois. Dr. Bourgeois has a gift as a teacher and is a humble and patient coach. I am thankful for his ability to stretch me without pulling a muscle. On a more personal note, I need to thank my father, Andy Barbee. He saw this day long before I did and encouraged me to pursue the doctorate. In addition, he was there during my darkest hour, this side of heaven, and I am eternally grateful for him. Thank you to our daughter Ana-Alicia.

Merriman Submitted to the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering on May 22, 2014 In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Science and Engineering ABSTRACT Fusion has been "forty years away", that is, forty years to implementation, ever since the idea of harnessing energy from a fusion reactor was conceived in the 1950s. In reality, however, it has yet to become a viable energy source. Fusion's promise and failure are both investigated by reviewing the history of the United States domestic fusion program and comparing technological forecasting by fusion scientists, fusion program budget plans, and fusion program budget history.
