...visiting professor of Physics will share the world's highest scientific honor, the Nobel Prize, for his recent work on anti-matter. Owen Chamberlain, Morris Loeb Visiting Professor of Physics, received official notification yesterday afternoon of his winning the $42,606 award with Emlio Segre, also a professor at the University of California...
...Chamberlain, by means of his work at California, proved the existence of the anti-proton, a sub-atomic particle with a charge opposite to a normal proton. Using California's huge particle accelerator, the 39-year-old scientist worked with Segre and developed new methods to prove the existence of the particle...
...particle accelerator was a completely indispensable tool in our research," Chamberlain noted. Only one particle per 30,000 was an anti-proton, however, and the California scientists had to develop a complicated array of bending magnets, magnetic focusing lenses, and detectors to spot the rare particle...
...Owen Chamberlain, visiting lecturer in Physics, and his colleague, Emilio Segre, of the University of California, may receive the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics today, Swedish newspapers reported this weekend. Chamberlain, currently teaching Physics 283, High Energy Physics, is on leave as a professor of Physics at the University of California...
...Chamberlain and Segre in 1955 created anti-protons in the powerful Bevatron atom smasher at the University of California's radiation laboratory in Livermore, Cal. These particles closely resemble protons, but carry negative charges...
