Barschall, H. H. (Henry Herman), 1915-1997
Henry H. Barschall papers, 1942-1974.
The papers of Henry H. Barschall include correspondence, notes, and miscellaneous materials. Correspondence concerns Barschall's move to Los Alamos, as well as his attendance at the Soviet-sponsored conference on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. Notes taken respectively by Richard P. Feynman and John A. Wheeler on lectures given by Wheeler on nuclear physics and Enrico Fermi on cosmic rays, both at Princeton (1940); and course notes prepared by Eugene P. Wigner for his summer class given at the University of Wisconsin in 1951 on nuclear structure and beta theory. Miscellaneous materials relate to the fatal bomb explosion, an anti-war protest, which destroyed Barschall's office and much of the physics department at Sterling Hall in the University of Wisconsin during the summer of 1970. Correspondents include: Arthur L. Hughes, John Henry Manley, Frederick T. Merrill, N. M. Sisakyan, and John A. Wheeler.
