Professor at the University of Calcutta, Raman discovered in the late 1920s that when a beam of monochromatic light shines through a transparent substance like quartz or water, the wave length, and thus the color, of some of the scattered rays is changed. The Raman effect, as it was called, became useful in determining fine molecular structure...
Panofsky is renowned as a brilliant experimental physicist; he has done most of his work on linear acceleration and he conceived the idea of the two-mile accelerator at Stanford...
Wilson is the second scientist-administrator being considered from the Batavia Accelerator and his presence on the list can be largely attributed to the newest Cooperation member. Charles Slichter, himself a physicist at the University of Illinois...
Although his Batavia colleague, Edwin Goldwasser, is closer to the optimal age. Wilson is a more widely recognized research physicist in large nuclear projects. He graduated from Univ. of California-Berkeley in 1936, did four years of graduate work there under Robert Oppenheimer and Ernest Lawrence, then moved to Princeton where he became an assistant professor...
Despite the odds stacking up against him. Physicist Dicke was not yet ready to surrender. "If this were a poker game," he said, "I would be staying with my hand." If Einstein were still alive, however, he would certainly be ready to raise...
