Wilson. Andrew Sessler, "for a broad range of theoretical and conceptual advances in particle beam dynamics, leading to important accelerator performance improvements; for contributions in the areas of synchrotron rings, including negative mass instability and resistive wall instability, and free electron lasers; for the two-beam accelerator concept; for helping shape the very language of beam physics; and for inspiring and guiding several generations of accelerator scientists and serving as a statesman of science" Prize Committee Chair: Christoph Leemann 1997 APS Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics An award of the American Physical Society sponsored by the Division of Beam Physics and Universities Research Association (URA). Linda Spentzouris, "for her pioneering measurements of nonlinear coherent phenomena in high-energy hadron beams, building upon the rich theoretical development in plasma physics over the last several decades.

  • Aspin Bubbles Mechanical Project for the Unification of the Forces of Nature
    Aspin Bubbles mechanical project for the unification of the forces of Nature Yoël Lana-Renault Departamento de Física Teórica. Facultad de Ciencias. Universidad de Zaragoza. 50009 - Zaragoza, Spain e-mail: [email protected] web: www.yoel-lana-renault.es This paper describes a mechanical theory for the unification of the basic forces of Nature with a single wave-particle interaction. The theory is based on the hypothesis that the ultimate components of matter are just two kind of pulsating particles. The interaction between these particles immersed in a fluid-like medium (ether) reproduces all the forces in Nature: electric, nuclear, gravitational, magnetic, atomic, van der Waals, Casimir, etc. The theory also designes the internal structure of the atom and of the fundamental particles that are currently known. Thus, a new concept of physics, capable of tackling entirely new problems, is introduced. Keywords: Unification of Forces, Non-linear Interactions. 1. Introduction Our theory presented here is compatible with existing views about the nature of matter, and demonstrates that the essential properties of particles can be described in the mechanical framework of classical physics with certain assumptions about the nature of physical space, which is traditionally called the ether. The theory is a synthesis of ideas used by Newton, Faraday, Maxwell and Einstein. In the past, the hypothesis of the ether as a fluid was decisive in the creation of the theory of the electromagnetic field. Vortex rings were used to construct a model of the atom at a time when the existence of elementary particles was not known. These days, applying vortex models to elementary particles looked reasonable.

  • When Physics Meets Biology: a Less Known Feynman
    When physics meets biology: a less known Feynman Marco Di Mauro, Salvatore Esposito, and Adele Naddeo INFN Sezione di Napoli, Naples - 80126, Italy We discuss a less known aspect of Feynman’s multifaceted scientific work, centered about his interest in molecular biology, which came out around 1959 and lasted for several years. After a quick historical reconstruction about the birth of molecular biology, we focus on Feynman’s work on genetics with Robert S. Edgar in the laboratory of Max Delbruck, which was later quoted by Francis Crick and others in relevant papers, as well as in Feynman’s lectures given at the Hughes Aircraft Company on biology, organic chemistry and microbiology, whose notes taken by the attendee John Neer are available. An intriguing perspective comes out about one of the most interesting scientists of the XX century. 1. INTRODUCTION Richard P. Feynman has been – no doubt – one of the most intriguing characters of XX century physics (Mehra 1994). As well known to any interested people, this applies not only to his work as a theoretical physicist – ranging from the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics to quantum electrodynamics (granting him the Nobel prize in Physics in 1965), and from helium superfluidity to the parton model in particle physics –, but also to his own life, a number of anecdotes being present in the literature (Mehra 1994; Gleick 1992; Brown and Rigden 1993; Sykes 1994; Gribbin and Gribbin 1997; Leighton 2000; Mlodinov 2003; Feynman 2005; Henderson 2011; Krauss 2001), including his own popular

  • Matthew Sands, Founding Deputy Director of SLAC, Dies | SLAC Today
    Matthew Sands, Founding Deputy Director of SLAC, Dies | SLAC Today Matthew Sands, Founding Deputy Director of SLAC, Dies By Burton Richter, SLAC director emeritus September 18, 2014 Matthew (Matt) Sands, the founding deputy director of SLAC, died peacefully at his home in Santa Cruz, California, on Sept. 13. He was 94 years old. Matt received his master’s degree in physics from Rice University in 1941 and was immediately swept into World War II technical work, first at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., and, from 1943 to 1945, at Los Alamos, where the atomic bomb was being developed. Matt’s work focused on electronics, and his group built the circuits needed for the work of all the other groups at Los Alamos. After the war, the book on electronics he wrote with his colleague William Elmore, Electronics: Experimental Techniques, became a kind of bible of recipes for advanced circuits. He was also one of the founders of what became the Federation of Atomic Scientists, which lobbied hard for control of nuclear weapons. 1 of 3 retrieved 1/10/2020, 2:22 PM Matthew Sands, Founding Deputy Director of SLAC, Dies | SLAC Today After the war ended, Matt went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for his PhD, working with professor Bruno Rossi on cosmic rays. After his PhD was completed, he was asked to help commission a 300-million-electronvolt synchrotron, which had been completed but did not work. In about one year he had it going. In 1950, Matt moved to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, where they were about to start on a 1.5-billion-electronvolt synchrotron.

Tularosa, New Mexico HSR Report 9 701 WSMR Archaeological Report No. 97-15 1997 PREFACE On july 16, 1945, at 5:29:45 a.m. Mountain War Time, the world entered the Nuclear Age with the successful detonation of the first atomic bomb. Over the years, numerous books and articles have been written about the Manhattan Project and the Trinity site. Many of these discuss the national and international social and political conditions and issues relating to the development of the atomic bomb. Other publications take the historical approach, providing a chronology of events that led to the detonation of the bomb and its aftermath. The Trinity Experiments is the first study of the actual experiments associated with evaluating the effects of the explosion. The study is very timely because, during the last year of this study, several scientists associated with the Manhattan Project and nuclear physics have passed away. They include K.T. Bainbridge, Director of the Trinity Project; Alexander Langsdorf, Jr., a pioneer in plutonium physics; C. E. Wiegand, a physicist; and]. Carson Mark, a physicist with the hydrogen bomb. Henry Barshall was interviewed about his participation with the excess velocity gauges; he passed away a couple of months after being interviewed.
