Lloyd R. Fortney papers, 1964-1998.
Primarily records pertaining to grants awarded for research in high-energy physics. The files consist of correspondence, proposals, reports, personnel and financial data, and other materials. Granting agencies represented include the Atomic Energy Commission, 1965-1975, 1978; the National Science Foundation, ca. 1968-1976; and the Dept. of Energy, 1979-1994. Also included are records of a series of collaborative bubble chamber studies carried out at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (BC63, 67, and 72/73), circa 1975-1984. The records document developments in the automated acquisition and analysis of data in high-energy physics reseaarch. Also included are Physics Dept. minutes, memoranda, reports, and related records, circa 1990-1998.
