Response to 1981 History of Nuclear Physics Survey, 1990.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78696888

File includes: accounts of Richard's graduate studies at Rice University with T.W. Bonner (measuring fast neutron energy spectra); his World War II work at Rice (on the Uranium Project), at the University of Minnesota, and at Los Alamos; his impressions of colleagues Hans Bethe, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, and Emilio Segré. File also includes a copy of a five-page talk given by Richards at the 1989 nuclear physics reunion at the University of Wisconsin. The talk, titled Early Interactions of H.T. Richards with the University of Wisconsin Nuclear Physics, briefly discusses research developments in precision energy measurement, resonance scattering studies, gamma ray studies, apparatus and accelerator developments, polarization studies, the Tandem Neutron Program, atomic and molecular effects, the Brazilian connection, quark search, tandem charged particle and relation studies, charged particle polarization studies, and ion implantation perturbed angular correlation techniques (IMPACT).

Feynman, Richard P. (Richard Phillips), 1918-1988

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6mx38zq (person)

Physicist Richard Feynman won his scientific renown through the development of quantum electrodynamics, or QED, a theory describing the interaction of particles and atoms in radiation fields. As a part of this work he invented what came to be known as "Feynman Diagrams," visual representations of space-time particle interactions. For this work he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, together with J. Schwinger and S. I. Tomonaga, in 1965. Later in his life Feynman became a prominent public fig...

Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who made tremendous contributions to his field, transforming accepted notions of atomic structure, helping to develop nuclear fission, and advocating for international cooperation in crafting responsible nuclear policy. Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1885 into a family that encouraged his academic pursuits. Christian Bohr, his father, was professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen. Bohr credited his father for awakening hi...
