Robert L. Walker papers, 1937-1994.
The papers include teaching notebooks, working files relating to the Caltech synchrotron, technical files and log books, correspondence (including correspondence regarding the Oppenheimer Memorial Committee), manuscripts, technical illustrations and photos, and reports and files relating to other accelerator laboratories, for example, Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) and Brookhaven and Argonne National Laboratories; and miscellaneous documents relating to high energy physics at Caltech, Fermilab accelerator, and committee and advisory work.
Professor of Physics at Caltech from 1949-1981; an expert in experimental high energy physics and in particular in the design of detectors. Before coming to Caltech he worked on the Manhattan Project at both the University of Chicago and Los Alamos, and earned his PhD at Cornell in 1948. During his early years at Caltech, he was involved in the construction and operation of the billion-volt electron synchrotron, at the time the most powerful machine of its type.
