Papers, 1942-1974.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79025407

Correspondence, notes, and miscellaneous materials. Correspondence is in two main series: the first (1942-1943, ca. 50 items) concerns Barschall's move to Los Alamos; the second (1957-1960, ca. 25 items) concerns his attendance at the Soviet-sponsored conference on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. Notes taken respectively by Richard P. Feynman and John A. Wheeler on lectures given by Wheeler on nuclear physics and Enrico Fermi on cosmic rays, both at Princeton (1940); and course notes prepared by Eugene P. Wigner for his summer class given at the University of Wisconsin in 1951 on nuclear structure and beta theory. Miscellaneous materials relate to the fatal bomb explosion, an anti-war protest, which destroyed Barschall's office and much of the physics department, at Sterling Hall, University of Wisconsin in the summer of 1970. Correspondents include: Arthur L. Hughes, John Henry Manley, Frederick T. Merrill, N.M. Sisakyan, and John A. Wheeler.

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...

Arthur Llewelyn Hughes (born 1883-died 1978), British/Welsh physicist. He worked on the Manhattan Project in St. Louis on the cyclotron and plutonium production and at Los Alamos, NM. He served as an assistant director at Los Alamos. He studied physics at Liverpool University under Charles Barkla, and later worked at Cavendish Laboratory under J. J. Thomson. He researched cloud chambers, as well as the photoeletric effect. In 1923 he became a professor and chair of the physics department at W...
