The laboratory was founded as the University of California Radiation Laboratory in 1931 by Ernest Orlando Lawrence, a University of California Berkeley physicist who won the 1939 Nobel Prize in physics for his invention of the cyclotron, a circular particle accelerator that opened the door to high-energy physics. It is a United States Department of Energy National Laboratory, operated by the University of California. The name of the laboratory has evolved since its founding: Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (1931-1958), the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (1959-1995), and currently the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (1995-present).
Andrew M. Sessler (1928-2014), physicist. Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (1973-1980); president, American Physical Society (1998).
These records are the research and development (R&D) administrative files of Andrew Sessler, who served as director of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory from 1973 to 1980. Sessler widened the Laboratory's research interest to include energy and environment studies. After serving as director Sessler continued at the lab conducting high energy particle accelerator and fusion research. The files contain correspondence, presentations, meeting notes, program reviews, and awards.
