Accelerators for sub-atomic physics: I. History [sound recording], 2011 April 30.
Audio recording of session E6 of the April 2011 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Anaheim, CA in April 2011. This session was sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS) Forum on the History of Physics (FHP) and the Division of Physics Beams (DPB) and chaired by Lia Merminga of Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics. Talks (and speakers) include: "Cyclotrons: From Science to Human Health" (Michael Craddock); "Linear Accelerators - Principles, History, and Applications" (Thomas Wangler); "Proton-Antiproton Colliders" (Lyndon Evans). Topics discussed include Ernest Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron; nuclear physics; linear accelerators; x-rays for radiation therapy; large hadron collider; European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN); and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab).
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.
