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.

Korff 1906-1989 Was A Physicist Who Led Worldwide Observations Of Cosmic Rays In The 1940'S And 1950'S Using Balloons Aircraft And Mountaintop Observatories. Serge Alexander Korff Was Born In Helsinki Finland. His Father A Baron Belonged To A Prominent Russian Family And Was Professor Of Russian Law At The University Of Helsinki Before Emigrating To The United States. Mr. Korff Graduated From Princeton University In 1929 Obtaining His Doctorate There In 1931. The Next Year He Became A Research Associate At The Mount Wilson Observatory In California And Through The Rest Of The 1930'S He Was Associated With The California Institute Of Technology The Carnegie Institution Of Washington And The Bartol Research Foundation. The Focus Of His Scientific Career Was Observing And Mapping The Rain Of Neutrons -Electrically Neutral Atomic Particles -Produced By High Energy Radiation Or Cosmic Rays Striking The Top Of The Atmosphere All Over The Earth. Balloon Observations Were Made Above Guam The Galapagos Islands Greenland The Caribbean And Several Points Within The United States. In 1960 Dr. Willard Libby In Accepting The Nobel Prize For His Discovery That The Decay Of Radioactive Carbon Could Be Used To Date Archeological Specimens Reminded His Audience Of The Contribution Of Dr. Korff's Contribution. It Was Dr. Korff And His Colleagues Who Discovered That The Atmosphere Is Constantly Being Bombarded By Neutrons. He Pointed Out That The Principal Way The Neutrons Would Disappear Would Be By Forming Radioactive Carbon Dr. Libby Said. This The Nobel Winner Said Put Him On The Path To His Discovery. In 1940 He Joined The Faculty Of New York University And Became A Professor Of Physics In 1946. He Was President Of The Explorers Club In New York From 1955 To 1958 And President Of The American Geographical Society From 1967 To 1971 As Well As Chairman Of Its Council From 1972 To 1988. In 1972 He Became President Of The New York Academy Of Sciences. D. Van Nostrand Company hardcover
1953réf. 030055Pasadena: California Institute Of Technology 1953 1954 1953. 1st Edition Thus . No Binding. Very Good. 433 Pp Appendices And Errata Sheet. Three Volumes In . Mimeo Class Text With Class Notes And Tests By A Student Who Later Became A Prominent Jpl Astronomer. Handwritten Comments And Grades By Leighton. Robert Benjamin Leighton September 10 1919 - March 9 1997 Was A Prominent American Experimental Physicist Who Spent His Professional Career At The California Institute Of Technology Caltech. His Work Over 58 Years Spanned Solid State Physics Cosmic Ray Physics The Beginnings Of Modern Particle Physics Solar Physics The Planets Infrared Astronomy And Millimeter- And Submillimeter-Wave Astronomy. In The Latter Four Fields His Pioneering Work Opened Up Entirely New Areas Of Research That Subsequently Developed Into Vigorous Scientific Communities. His Bachelor's Master's And Ph.D. Degrees Were All From Caltech; He Joined The Faculty In 1949 And Later Served As Division Chair Of Physics Mathematics And Astronomy From 1970 To 1975. Leighton Was A Renowned Teacher At Caltech. His Principles Of Modern Physics Published In 1959 Was A Standard And Influential Textbook. After Richard Feynman's Lectures In Physics Course In The Early 1960S Leighton Spent Over Two Years Reworking The Tape-Recorded Text Into Publishable Form: The Feynman Lectures On Physics Which Were Published In 1964 And 1966 And Which Have Enjoyed Perennial Success Ever Since. In Addition He Co-Authored With Robbie Vogt A Set Of Problems To Accompany The Feynman Lectures. In The Early 1960S Leighton Developed And Fabricated A Novel Inexpensive Infrared Telescope Which Included A Simple Array Of Eight Lead-Sulfide Photocells. These Cells Were Surplus From The Defense Industry; They Had Been Developed For The Sidewinder Missile'S Heat-Seeking Guidance System. Starting In 1965 He And Gerry Neugebauer Used The New Telescope To Sweep The Roughly 70 Percent Of The Sky Visible From Mt. Wilson Observatory Collecting The Data As Squiggles On A Strip-Chart Recorder. This Began A New Area Of Infrared Astronomy. The Resulting Two-Micron Sky Survey Published In 1969 Contained 5612 Infrared Sources The Vast Majority Of Which Had Been Previously Uncataloged. Some Of These Have Been Found To Be New Stars Still Surrounded By Their Dusty Pre-Stellar Shells While Others Are Supergiant Stars In The Last Stages Of Their Evolution Embedded In Expanding Dusty Shells Of Matter Ejected By The Stars Themselves. Leighton's Development Of Photographic Equipment During The Mid-1950S Had Allowed Him To Obtain The Best Pictures Of The Planets Ever Attained Anywhere To That Time From The 60 And 100-Inch Telescopes And Led To His Work As Team Leader At The Jet Propulsion Laboratory Jpl For The Imaging Science Investigations On The Mariner 4 6 And 7 Missions To Mars During The Middle 1960S. As Team Leader And An Experienced Experimental Physicist Leighton Played A Key Role In Forming And Guiding The Development Of Jpl's First Digital Television System For Use In Deep Space. He Also Contributed To The First Efforts At Image Processing And Enhancement Techniques Made Possible By The Digital Form Of The Imaging Data. He Received The Space Science Award From The American Institute Of Aeronautics And Astronautics For The Mariner Television Experiments In 1967 And The Nasa Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal In 1971. In The 1970S Leighton's Interest Shifted To The Development Of Large Inexpensive Dish Antenna Which Could Be Used To Pursue Millimeter-Wave Interferometry And Submillimeter-Wave Astronomy. Leighton Shared The Rumsford Prize In 1986 For Advancements In Infrared Astronomy And Won The James Craig Watson Medal In 1988 For His Work As Creator And Exploiter Of New Instruments And Techniques That Opened Whole New Areas Of Astronomy - Solar Oscillations Infrared Surveys Spun Telescopes And Large Millimeter-Wave Reflectors.Leighton And Feynman Were Close Personal Friends. One Of Leighton's Sons Ralph Also Collaborated With Feynman On Several Books. California Institute Of Technology 1953 1954 unknown
