S.E.Woosley 1990 Bossanova: 10 The Supernova Song Supernova: 24 Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio Su-per nova, su-per nova; Super-no-va over you. Hypernova: 0 I just can’t believe it, But before Reverand Evans sees it, Gotta get this telegram off to the IAU. Supernova, supernova, your models are best it’s plain to see. You’ve got a great big Cray, And it does, what you say, In three dimensions and non-LTE Supernova, supernova, will we ever know you? You live so far away, Beyond the Milky Way, I bet you’ve still got a secret or two. Hi Stan, It’s been awhile. I think the last time we shared together I was still a graduate student and you had either just gone to Santa Cruz or were about to go. Now you are turning 60, and I remember your 30th birthday back at Kellogg. Those were different times: I remember your HP-35 that was stolen. I think it was worth $350. I was still using my trusty slide rule. We all had cardboard boxes full of computer cards and God help us if we dropped one. We used to type them up on the IBM keypunch machines, duplicate them in those big klunky card duplicators (which invariably ate a few), and submit them to the operators for batch jobs on the IBM 360 or run them through the RJET for remote calculations on Berkeley’s CDC 6600. I remember that you and I set up all the statistical model reaction rate calculations that anyone would conceivably (at that time) want from mass 20 on up, and that you took them to Livermore to run. They had LRLTRAN running on CDC 7600s back then, and although most of the results were accessible, some got scrambled up on the tapes and we had to redo them. So much for technology. Kellogg was a great place to work during those years. Pre-Nobel Willy was our leader and BAZ helped with any programming issues. There were technical visits from people like Fred Hoyle, Vickie Weisskopf, Aage Bohr, and other leading scientists. Nucleosynthesis was the business and we all – experimentalists, nuclear modelers, and stellar dynamics folks – worked hard at it. Socially the place had its moments. I remember some good parties and some of our social times at work: lunches at the Greasy, the Athenaeum, or sometimes at the Continental Burger. One time we drank too much beer at the Athenaeum when we went there to watch Billy Jean King beat Bobby Riggs at tennis. But all the time, people were serious about doing the best they could to discover and understand the evolution of the elements. When I first met you, I had just begun my thesis research and was learning about the statistical model of the nucleus, nuclear transitions, nuclear level densities, and thermonuclear reaction rates. You arrived as a postdoc and joined me as a somewhat more experienced mentor and colleague. You were sort of a big brother to me on the reaction rate project. While I was able to teach myself the physics and to evaluate the importance and relevance of alternative models for our work, you had the ability to organize and to get things going. In our work together, this was the most valuable capability I learned from you. I was always OK at solving specific problems, but watching and working with you taught me how to take a big problem, to break it down into bite-size chunks, to analyze the relationships between and importance of the chunks, and to set about their accomplishment. Much thanks. Well, since those days Willy won a Nobel Prize, Supernova 1987 A occurred (and I saw you in the media), and you’ve gone on to a great career in theoretical high energy astrophysics. With the progress of computer technology and power, I’m sure your rotating massive star models are formidable. Congratulations! I left nuclear astrophysics and came to Oak Ridge thinking “Energy is the moral equivalent of war.” I did plasma physics for magnetic fusion for a number of years and, as the fusion program waned, took up charged particle beam dynamics for accelerator physics. It’s challenging and fun work and I am always applying the skills you helped me learn. It was wonderful to share a couple years of work with you. Thanks for being a great colleague and mentor, and congratulations on a great career! Sincerely, Jeff Holmes (Oak Ridge) I am an old friend of Stan's, from his (and my) Rice days. Don C. has pictures of the young, handsome Professor Woosley, including some from the early 70's when Stan and other Rice-types (including me), along with Dave Arnett and Don (both then at Rice) Sydney W.

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.

  • The Oppenheimer Years 1943-1945 6
    " . .When you come right down to it the reason that we did this job is because it was an organic necessity. If you are a scientist you cannot stop such a thing . You believe that it is good to find out how the world works . [and] to turn over to mankind at large the greatest possible power to control the world and to deal with it according to its lights and its values. " . I think it is true to say that atomic weapons are a peril which affect everyone in the world, and in that sense a completely common problem . I think that in order to handle this common problem there must be a complete sense of community responsibility. " . The one point I want to hammer home is what an enormous change in spirit is involved. There are things which we hold very dear, and I think rightly hold very dear; I would say that the word democracy perhaps stood for some of them as well as any other word. There are many parts of the world in which there is no democracy . And when I speak of a new spirit in international affairs I mean that even to these deepest of things which we cherish, and for which Americans have been willing to die—and certainly most of us would be willing to die—even in these deepest things, we realize that there is something more profound than that; namely the common bond with other men everywhere . .“ J. Robert Oppenheimer speech to the Association of Los Alamos Scientists Los Alamos November 2, 1945 Excerpts from a speech to the Association of Los Alamos Scientists in Los Alamos, New Mexico, on November 2, 1945.

  • A Brief History of the Co-Evolution of Supernova Theory with Neutrino Physics
    A Brief History of the Co-evolution of Supernova Theory with Neutrino Physics Adam Burrows Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ USA 08544 The histories of core-collapse supernova theory and of neutrino physics have paralleled one another for more than seventy years. Almost every development in neutrino physics necessi- tated modifications in supernova models. What has emerged is a complex and rich dynamical scenario for stellar death that is being progressively better tested by increasingly sophisiti- cated computer simulations. Though there is still much to learn about the agency and details of supernova explosions, whatever final theory emerges will have the neutrino at its core. I summarize in this brief contribution some of the salient developments in neutrino physics as they related to supernova theory, while avoiding any attempt to review the hundreds of pivotal papers that have pushed supernova theory forward. My goal has been merely to highlight the debt of supernova astrophysics to neutrino physics. 1 Introduction The theory of the violent deaths of massive stars in what are called supernova explosions has a long pedigree that spans more than half a century, has engaged hundreds of researchers, and has proven more elusive than anticipated. However, with the advent of numerically and physically sophisticated codes with which to simulate the onset of explosion in three spatial dimensions, the theoretical community now seems to be zeroing in on the mechanism of explosion. Central to this emerging theory are the neutrinos of all species produced copiously at the high densities and temperatures achieved during and after the collapse of the unstable Chandrasekhar core created in the center of the massive star at the end of its life.
