Response to 1988 History of Nuclear Physics Survey, 1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80284758

Questionnaire responses and three additional pages discussing Robson's initial interest in physics; his work on radar during World War II and at Chalk River; the influences of Sir James Chadwick, Maurice Goldhaber, George I. Bell, Lloyd George Elliott, and Arthur Snell; and funding, teaching, and involvement in the National Research Council and the Canadian Association of Physicists. 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 projects, the roles of related sciences in their research, their work as educators, and their involvement in physics-related organizations.

Goldhaber, Maurice, 1911-2011

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6hn5zjp (person)

Maurice Goldhaber (b. April 18, 1911, Lemberg, Austria-Hungary–d. May 11, 2011, East Setauket, NY) studied physics at University of Berlin and received his PhD from Cambridge University. In 1934, Goldhaber and James Chadwick established that the neutron has a great enough mass over the proton to decay while working at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. Goldhaber moved to the University of Illinois in 1938 and published research about beta participles with his wife, Gertrude Scharff-...
