Response to 1988 History of Nuclear Physics Survey, 1988-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78824396

A handwritten completed survey of personal data, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and a manuscript describing Austern's childhood and early education as one of the first graduates of the Bronx High School of Science, his undergraduate studies in enginnering at Cooper Union and graduate studies under Julian Mack at the University of Wisconsin during World War II, his work at Wisconsin with Eugene Wigner and Robert G. Sachs, his postdoctoral work beginning in 1951 at Cornell University in deuteron photodisintegration, and his brief move to the Atomic Energy Commission Computing Facility in the New York University Institute of Mathematical Sciences (now the Courant Institute). Austern also describes, in some detail, his research work after his appointment to the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh; the 1957 Pittsburgh nuclear physics conference held at Chatham College; sabbatical work in Australia and at the RAND Corporation; and recent collaborations with a number of European and Japanese researchers on direct actions and three-body reaction theories. Recipients were asked to discuss their entry into a scientific career in general and nuclear physics in particular, their scientific achievements, the funding of their project, the roles of related sciences in their research, their work as educators, and their involvement in physics-related organizations.

Throughout its history the University of Pittsburgh has received occasional support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the early 1960s it suffered an unprecedented fiscal crisis and sought a solution that linked it to the Commonwealth. On August 23, 1966, House Bill No. 2 of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania was signed and the University officially became state-related.
