ISSN: 2448-0959, Access Link: https://www.nucleodoconhecimento.com.br/philosophy- en/life SUMMARY This article reports a little of the life and work of one of the greatest Brazilian physicists, César Lattes. Many important names crossed lattes' path and together with him they built Brazilian physics. It can be affirmed that without the dedication and charisma of this remarkable scientist, the teaching of physics in Brazil would not be the same. His dedication to research had a worldwide effect, opening doors for the improvement of physics teaching. Lattes possessed a unique personality, captivating and exuberant, but sometimes troubled. For these and many other reasons, his life and work has inspired to this day other physicists, as well as teachers, journalists and historians from all over the world. This article is a historical report that can serve as support in the teaching of physics or sciences in general. This is a bibliographical research. Keywords: Lattes, physics, life. INTRODUCTION Who was César Lattes? According to himself (2001), the surname Lattes, inherited from his father's grandfather is of Jewish origin. His father came to Curitiba from Italy at the age of 19, in 1912, to work at the French-Italian Bank. In 1914, he sailed by ship to fight in the 1st. great war alongside the Austrians and Germans. It was during this period that his father met his mother, a French teacher. Upon his return in 1921, he created Banco Brasul, in which he took over the general management. His father died in 1975 and his mother in 1986. Lattes says that they helped him a lot, because they gave him an apartment when he was a father for the fourth time, in addition to costing the medical treatments of his depressions. 1 / 14 Revista Científica Multidisciplinar Núcleo do Conhecimento - RC: 64338 - ISSN: 2448-0959 https://www.nucleodoconhecimento.com.br/philosophy-en/life Lattes was born in 1924 in Curitiba and at the age of two moved to Caxias do Sul. Then he went to Porto Alegre, during the Revolution of 1930. From Porto Alegre he went with his family to Italy, where he stayed for six months and studied in a public school in Turin. Returning from Italy to Curitiba, he remained there until 1933, when at the age of nine, he went to São Paulo to study at Dante Alighieri boarding school. He married, had four daughters and nine grandchildren, but none of them followed the path of physics. It is worth exploring a little more the motivation of Lattes for the study of Physics. This was due to two facts: first, when finishing the gym, he learned that a teacher had three months of vacation a year, instead of a month, as occurred with most other professions, which made him very interested and second, that most subjects were of the type "decoreba", except for Physics and Mathematics, which he liked and had ease. Thus, Lattes leaned towards the study of Physics (BASSALO, 1990; MARQUES, 2005). According to Letícia Oliveira (2013), curiously discovered by professors José Leite Lopes[3] and Gleb Vassielievich Wataghin[4] and possessed the best grades of the vestibular exam at the University of São Paulo, no one could imagine the magnitude of this feat when Lattes at the age of 22, suggested to Cecil Frank Powell[5] to add boron to his photographic plates, used in the study of nuclear emulsions. This led him to be nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Physics, a title he did not receive just because at the time it was a tradition that the prize was awarded to the heads of the research groups, in this case, Powell. These events changed the picture of Brazilian physics, because Lattes' work showed that even in a less developed country where the research material was not so abundant, it was possible for a young man to make a world-important discovery. From this, scientists became excited and created numerous research institutes even before Lattes' return to the country. Lattes became so notable that he received several national and international awards and honors. The largest of them in 1999, when CNPq graced him giving the system of academic curricula his name. Having said that, this article is the subject of a brief biographical study that set out to raise and praise some aspects of the life of one of the most brilliant Brazilian scientists, perhaps in the world, the great physicist César Lattes. Thus, a reflexive and systematic procedure was performed, in which the data were obtained by indirect documentation, that is, research of an existing bibliography, since it seeks to explain and tell the life of this thinker based on theoretical contributions published in books, articles and institutional sites. It is, then, a compilation article, remembering that this type of study consists in neatly gathering the selected bibliography, combining it and extracting from it what is interesting for the fulfillment of the objective. Generally speaking, a bibliographical research was carried out combined with a historical research that covers the reading, analysis and interpretation of books, articles and established institutional sites. This is because this type of research aims to know the different contributions available on a given topic. LIFE AND WORK César Lattes did not consider himself a physicist, but a teacher, so he said that "The physicist believes in an objective reality and the teacher teaches it". (LATTES, 2001, p.18). Moreover, in relation to recent physics, he stated that physicists only declared that they were coming to the end of science and that we are not even at the beginning of everything that is to be discovered. 2 / 14 Revista Científica Multidisciplinar Núcleo do Conhecimento - RC: 64338 - ISSN: 2448-0959 https://www.nucleodoconhecimento.com.br/philosophy-en/life For Lattes (2001), the greatest Brazilian physicist until then had been Marcelo Damy[6], because not only would he have discovered important things, but also manufactured the equipment, measured and published his results, along with Gleb Wataghin and Paulus "Pompéia" Aulus[7]. Particularly about Wataghin, it is worth mentioning that he was the pioneer in Modern Physics in Brazil. He came on a mission from the Italian government when Teodoro Ramos went to seek teachers in Europe to found the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters. His family was of Russian origin and was connected to the royal family. He was finishing physics in Kiev when he was forced to move to Turin because of the revolution of 1917. So although most physicists don't know, they're heirs to Wataghin. Three other very important personalities in his opinion were Giuseppe Occhialini[8], involved with the discovery of antimatter of new particles, a crucial starting point for the exploration of the universe through X-rays and gamma rays and Joaquim Costa Ribeiro[9], discoverer of the dipole formation of electric charge in the phase changes of solids and liquids. He continued his account by stating that the fact that there are few relevant names in physics was not due to the fact that he was demanding about it, but rather that the works had more names than results. This made it difficult to say who was good, since even with the increase in the number of scientists in this area the great triumphs did not arise. During his undergraduate course, Lattes studied Mathematics and Physics, as well as other subjects. It was about six hours of classes a day, with lab classes that took almost all of their day, with the students themselves putting together the experiments. In 1943, at the age of 19, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in physics and from there all the knowledge he obtained was through studies, both alone and with his colleagues, in addition to reading scientific journals. The library where he graduated was beautiful and had been given by the Italian government. This was the work of Wataghin, who negotiated with the Italian government the donation of complete collections of updated physics and mathematics books. Salaries were much better than the current ones. When he graduated, Lattes says, "I should make about 900 a month, which should give, today, about four thousand dollars." (LATTES, 2001, p.28). Early in his career, Lattes was invited to be the third assistant to the chair of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics, conducted by Wataghin. He did work together with Wathaghin on the abundance of elements in the universe. For this, he used statistical thermodynamics of high densities and temperatures. Soon after, he was invited by Mário Schenberg[10] to calculate the field of a puntiform dipole with angular momentum. After this second work, he gave up theoretical physics and went to Wilson's chamber[11]. It's important to know that Occhialini and Wataghin didn't work together. Wataghin was director of the Physics Department and always gave greater credit to his assistants. During the Great War, he and his wife stayed here. Considered an enemy, he could not remain at the head of the department and won a room with another entrance, because the department produced sleepers and other equipment, all focused on war. Now Occhialini invented an automatic control and put it in Wilson's chamber.

Não há muitos exemplos semelhantes de cientis- tas que, por suas ações pessoais, tiveram tão grande influência sobre tantas pessoas de gerações diferentes num país, que nem era o seu próprio país. Os alunos de Gleb Wataghin, e os alunos de seus alunos, espalharam-se por diferentes lugares, con- tribuindo para fazer da física brasileira o que ela é hoje. A descrição do trabalho de Gleb Wataghin no Brasil necessitaria muito mais do que uma simples palestra. Poderemos, entretanto, apresentar um pequeno resumo no qual tentaremos pôr em evidência alguns dos aspectos da sua persona- lidade como homem, como físico e como mestre. A fundação da Universidade de São Paulo Gleb Wataghin nasceu na Rússia, mas viveu na Itália, para onde sua família emigrou. Estudou naquele país e, em 1934, veio de Turim para São Paulo. Para compreender a influência que exerceu, e poder avaliar a sua extensão, é necessário conhecer algo a respeito das escolas superiores no Brasil naquele período. Havia no país uma só universidade, fundada em 1920 no Rio de Janeiro. Esta universi- dade era formada pelas escolas superiores já existentes antes da sua fundação: Engenharia, Medicina, Direito e Odontologia, colocadas então sob uma única administração, mas sem qualquer conexão – intelectual ou profissional – entre elas.

    SEARA DA CIÊNCIA CURIOSIDADES DA FÍSICA José Maria Bassalo Os Físicos Brasileiros e os Prêmios Nobel de Física (PNF) de 1957, 1979, 1980, 1984 e 1988. O PNF de 1957 foi concedido aos físicos sino-norte-americanos Chen Ning Yang (n.1922) e Tsung- Dao Lee (n.1926) pela descoberta da quebra da paridade nas interações fracas. O PNF de 1979, foi outorgado aos físicos, os norte-americanos Steven Weinberg (n.1933) e Sheldon Lee Glashow (n.1932) e o paquistanês Abdus Salam (1926-1996) pelo desenvolvimento da Teoria Eletrofraca que unificou as interações eletromagnética e fraca. O PNF de 1980 foi atribuído aos físicos norte- americanos James Watson Cronin (n.1931) e Val Logsdon Fitch (n.1923) pela descoberta da violação da simetria carga-paridade (CP). O PNF de 1984 foi recebido pelo físico italiano Carlo Rubbia (n.1934) e pelo engenheiro e físico holandês Simon van der Meer (n.1925) pela descoberta das partículas mediadoras da interação fraca. E o PNF de 1988, foi partilhado pelos físicos norte-americanos Leon Max Lederman (n.1922), Melvin Schwartz (1932-2006) e Jack Steinberger (n.1921) (de origem alemã) por desenvolverem o método de feixes de neutrinos e pela conseqüente descoberta do neutrino do múon ( ). Neste verbete, vou destacar os trabalhos de físicos estrangeiros e brasileiros que se relacionaram, diretamente ou indiretamente, com esses Prêmios. Em verbetes desta série, vimos como ocorreu a descoberta e a explicação do fenômeno físico chamado de radioatividade.

  • Entrevista Roberto Salmeron “ENSINO PAGO NAS UNIVERSIDADES PÚBLICAS SERIA UM CRIME” Por Lighia B
    OS CIENTISTAS ERGUEM A VOZ Uma coincidência reuniu, nas páginas da Revista Adusp, dois dos maiores físicos brasileiros. Roberto Salmeron, que vive na França há muitos anos, veio ao Brasil para lançar seu livro sobre a UnB, e passou pela USP, de modo que não perdemos a oportunidade de entrevistá-lo. José Leite Lopes, por sua vez, re- cebera o Prêmio Unesco de Ciências 1999 quando a edição anterior da revista já estava fechada. Indis- pensável, assim, buscar seu depoimento. Ambos reivindicam para a educação e a ciência a grandeza que o neoliberalismo dominante tem negado a uma e outra. Ambos conferem à universidade pública (e à pesquisa a ela vinculada) papel central na produção do conhecimento. Ambos saem em defesa da ciência brasileira, acuada pelo colapso dos programas de financiamento da pesquisa, intimidada pelos ataques à autonomia universitária, ameaçada pelo desmonte do sistema público de ensino em todos os níveis. Ainda que em tom mais contido, a SBPC também reage ao desmantelamento do saber nacional, partindo para a “cartografia” da C&T nas diferentes regiões do país, em inédita maratona que entu- siasma Glaci Zancan, nova presidente da entidade. Por fim, este bloco de matérias é enriquecido por artigo de Romualdo Portela e Sandra Zákia sobre critérios e métodos de avaliação da produção dos docentes universitários, tema muito pertinente quando se sabe que a elaboração de rankings da ciên- cia pode resultar desastrosa. ✦✦✦ Acumulam-se os sintomas de uma crise generalizada do capitalismo.

  • A Descoberta Indireta Dos Quarks (U,D,S) E O Prêmio Nobel De Física (PNF) De 1990
    CURIOSIDADES DA FÍSICA José Maria Filardo Bassalo www.bassalo.com.br A Descoberta Indireta dos Quarks (u,d,s) e o Prêmio Nobel de Física (PNF) de 1990. O PNF de 1990 foi atribuído aos sicos, os norte-americanos Jerome Isaac Friedman (n.1930) e Henry Way Kendall (1926-1999) e o canadense Richard Edward Taylor (n.1929) por seus experimentos pioneiros relavos ao espalhamento de elétrons por núcleos atômicos que revelaram a presença de quarks. Desde a descoberta do elétron (e-), em 1897 [pelo sico inglês Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856- 1940; PNF, 1906)], várias outras parculas foram então descobertas por todo o Século 20. Por exemplo, até a metade da década de 1940, haviam sido descobertos o próton (p), em 1919 [pelo sico e químico neozelandês-inglês Lord Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937; PNQ, 1908)], o nêutron (n), em 1932 [pelo sico inglês Sir James Chadwick (1891-1974; PNF, 1935)], o pósitron (e+), também em 1932 [pelo sico norte-americano Carl David Anderson (1905-1991; PNF, 1936)], e o múon (μ), em 1936 [por Anderson e pelo sico norte-americano Seth Henry Neddermeyer (1907-1988)], e, desse modo, surgiu a necessidade de compreendê-las. Assim, em 1946 (Annals of the New York Academy 48, p. 219), o sico norte-americano John Archibald Wheeler (1911-2009) desenvolveu a tese de que todas as parculas até então conhecidas poderiam ser constuídas a parr da junção do elétron e de sua anparcula, o pósitron, junção essa que seria mediada pelo fóton [parcula mediadora da interação eletromagnéca, depois de sua existência proposta pelo sico germano-norte-americano Albert Einstein (1879-1955; PNF, 1921), em 1905], segundo preconizava a Teoria Quânca da Radiação, formulada pelo sico inglês Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (PNF, 1933), em 1927 (vide verbete nesta série).

    Cosmic Ray Physics in Brazil Carola Dobrigkeit 1 PoS(CRA School)032 Instituto de Física Gleb Wataghin – Universidade Estadual de Campinas Campinas, Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Cosmic rays have long been a topic of intense research activities in Brazil. Due to the contagious enthusiasm and excellence of the men who introduced this field in the country around 1930, a tradition in cosmic ray physics was built and over the past eighty years there have always been one or more groups of scientists dedicating their efforts building detectors, performing experiments and obtaining top results in this research area. Although many physicists spent their lives working in cosmic ray physics in Brazil, one must acknowledge the enormous contribution of Gleb Wataghin and Cesar Lattes to making this one of Brazil’s most traditional areas of research in Physics. Wataghin and Lattes are the main protagonists of the story of cosmic ray physics in Brazil. 4th School on Cosmic Rays and Astrophysics São Paulo, Brazil August 25- September 04, 20 1 Speaker Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence. http://pos.sissa.it Cosmic Ray Physics in Brazil Carola Dobrigkeit 1. Introduction The story of research in cosmic ray physics in Brazil over almost eighty years can be best followed by telling it over four successive periods. Even if the limits of these periods are sometimes blurred in time and part of the periods overlap, each one has its own characteristics and peculiarities. The seeds of cosmic ray research were sown almost simultaneously by Bernhard Gross, in Rio de Janeiro and by Gleb Wataghin, in São Paulo.

Salmeron Laboratoire de Physique Nucléaire des Hautes Energies Ecole Polytechnique - 91128 Palaiseau Cedex - France It is an honour and a pleasure to speak about Gleb Wataghin, the man who taught Brazilians the foundations of modern physics, how to learn it and how to do physics. The history of Gleb Wataghin in Brazil is a very nice and unusual history. There are not many similar examples of scientists who have had, by their own personal actions, such a strong influence on so many people of different generations in a country, which furthermore was not his own. The students of Gleb Wataghin and the students of his students spread out over different places, contributing to make Brazilian physics what it is today. The description of Gleb Wataghin’s work in Brazil would require much more than a lecture. We shall present a short summary, trying to show some aspects of his personality as a man, as a physicist and as a master. The foundation of the University of São Paulo Gleb Wataghin, Russian born who studied in Italy and became Italian, came from Torino to São Paulo in 1934. In oder to understand and properly evaluate his influence one must know a little about Brazilian schools for higher education at _______________ Talk delivered at the commemoration of the centenary of Gleb Wataghin’s birthday at the meeting which was at the same time the XI International Symposium on Very High Energy Cosmic Rays Interactions - named Gleb Wataghin Centennary Edition of the Symposium series - and the VI Gleb Wataghin School on High Energy Phenomenolgy, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, 17 - 21 July 2000.
