Compton, Arthur Holly, 1892-1962
Arthur Holly Compton research notebooks, 1919-1941.
These 32 laboratory notebooks record Arthur Holly Compton's activities as a research physicist and include detailed calculations, experimental data, sketches of apparatus, and notes on the work of other physicists. The notebooks are divided into two groups: those dealing with x-ray and x-ray research (1919-1930), and those dealing with cosmic ray research (1930-1941). Other areas of Compton's work are represented in the notebooks, including lecture materials, notes to students, drafts of book reviews and letters, notes on conferences and symposia, financial record keeping and reports, and drafts of popular addresses. Five of the notebooks were compiled by physicists other than Compton, who later made annotations, and one was compiled entirely by others during the course of experiments he was directing.
Physicist (x-rays, cosmic rays). On the physics faculty at University of Chicago, 1923-1945; United States Government Plutonium Research Project, 1942-1945; chancellor, Washington University, St. Louis, 1945-1953.
