Tufts University Department of Physics and Astronomy high energy physics records, 1947-2005.
The High Energy Physics (HEP) records include documents pertaining to U.S. Government contracts and grants issued to the HEP Group at Tufts University from 1957 to 2000. This collection contains proposals, budgets, correspondence, progress reports, foreign travel information and personnel data used to renew government contracts. These records track the annual projects and progress of High Energy Physics research at Tufts University. This collection also contains the records of Richard Milburn, a professor in the Physics Department who worked in the High Energy Physics program.
Tufts University began experiments in the field of elementary particle physics when it was issued its first grant by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in 1957. The original contract funded the study of hypernuclei and strange particles in emulsions, and set the foundation for a series of bubble chamber experiments. Aside from bubble chamber studies, the High Energy Physics Group was also involved in the invention of the backscattered laser beam, experiments in collider physics, exploration of heavy quarks, investigations of high energy neutrino interactions, neutrino oscillations, and theoretical studies in particle phenomenology.
