American Physical Society. Annual Meeting (2009: Denver, Colo)
History of MURA [Midwestern Universities Research Association], Fermilab and the SSC [Superconducting Super Collider] [sound recording], 2009 May 4.
Audio recording of session T7 of the April 2009 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Denver, Colorado in May 2009. This session was co-sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS) Forum on the History of Physics (FHP) and the Division of Physics of Beams (DPB), and chaired by Gloria Lubkin of the American Institute of Physics. Talks (and speakers) include: "Innovation Was Not Enough; The History of the Midwestern Universities Research Association" (Lawrence W. Jones); "Fermilab: The Ring of the Frontier, 1967-1989" (Adrienne W. Kolb); "A Personal Recollection of the SSC Birth and Demise" (Stanley Wojcicki). Topics discussed include particle beams, particle accelerators, and high energy physics.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
