Henry H. Barschall reminiscences.
Recounts his life beginning with college studies in physics in Germany during the Nazi regime; emmigration to the U.S. in 1937 and life as a graduate student at Princeton University. Includes experiences while teaching physics at the University of Wisconsin, including destruction of lab during antiwar demonstration in 1970; work at Los Alamos during World War II and atomic testing in the desert and at Trinity; cold war-era travel behind the Iron Curtain for Soviet nuclear physics conferences; research interests in nuclear physics, fission and medical physics; research using early particle accelerators; and contributions to physics journal publishing.
Physicist (nuclear physics). Staff member, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, 1943-1946, 1951-1952; on physics faculty of University of Wisconsin at Madison from 1946; associate division leader, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, 1971-1973. Died in 1997.
