Richard Wilson 1926- Is A British Born American Physicist. His Original Fields Were Nuclear And Elementary Particle Physics But Branched Out Into Applications Of Physics In Other Disciplines. He Is Now Mallinckrodt Professor Of Physics Emeritus. At Harvard University.He Has Lectured In 44 Different Countries. In 1988 He Became A Member Of The Science Advisory Board Of The Atlantic Legal Foundation A Public Interest Law Foundation. Wilson's First Research Was On The Properties Of The Nucleon. He Started By Using Radioactive Sources And Then Using First The Cyclotron At Aere Harwell Uk Then The Cyclotron At Harvard University Usa. This Work Is Described In Many Papers And In This Book. At Harvard He Became An Enthusiastic Supporter Of The Cambridge Electron Accelerator And Was Chairman Of The Management Committee From 1961 To 1968. He Became Known For His Work On Nucleon Form Factors An Interest Which Continues. He Was A Trustee Of The Universities Research Association From 1987 To 1993 And Studied The Inelastic Form Factors. Wilson Was An Early Proponent Of Electron-Positron Colliding Beams. And Worked Thereon In Frascati Cea And Cornell University. In 1991 He Realized That The General Public Was No Longer Automatically Supporting Physicists And Began A Career Explaining The Positive Aspects Of Radiation Use As Well As Its Risks And Dangers. In This He Used The "Hands On" Style Of An Experimental Physicist And Soon Became An Expert On Nuclear Accidents: Three Mile Island Chernobyl & Fukushima. He Is Particularly Known For His Visits To Chernobyl Being The First American Scientist To Go To The Plant And Measure Radioactivity Levels Thereby Exposing Himself To The Dangers. He Expanded His Interests To Other Hazards And Thereby Helped To Found The Field Of Risk Analysis. In This Work He Realized That While It Is Interesting What Scientists Say In Their Conferences; The Us Public Is More Concerned About Of What Congress Enacts In Response And Most To Importantly What The Courts Said Last Week. This Realization Has Led To An Activity On Emphasizing To The Courts The Fundamental Thinking Of A Physicist. This Includes The Role Of Expert Witnesses In Court Cases.
