Author: P A Moore This Issue Back Issues Editorial Staff Celebration Honouring Burton Richter Winner of a Nobel Prize for physics, a longtime laboratory director and a leading figure in international science - Burton Richter's contributions range wide. A recent celebration at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center paid tribute. Burton Richter Haim Harari from the Weizmann Institute in Israel said it best: "On occasions like the celebration honouring Burton Richter, the talks require a formula: 30% physics, 30% nostalgia, 30% entertainment and 10% admiration." Other speakers at the day-long celebration held at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in January varied a great deal in these percentages. The day was, in turns, serious, funny and sentimental. When the balance shifted to the sweet side, Richter, now emeritus director of SLAC, commented: "You can get sick on too much sugar." Harari's presentation reviewed the November Revolution of 1974. He recalled mailing a letter home to Israel on 8 November of that year, saying that things were rather boring at SLAC and that he wished that he were at Fermilab. Two days later, the psi peak was discovered at the SPEAR electron-positron collider and Harari realized his good fortune in being at SLAC on such a momentous occasion. Weighing in heavily on the admiration end of the scale, both Martha Krebs, former director of the Office of Science at the Department of Energy (DOE), and John O'Fallon, head of the high-energy physics programme at the DOE, praised Richter for his candour and his mentoring of the young (and "not-so-young", according to Krebs). "Richter is a strong and ardent advocate for science," said O'Fallon. Known for having the last word in every situation, Richter shot back: "If I'm so good, how come I didn't get bigger budgets?"

April 23, 2001 VOL. 30, NO. 31 Nobel Laureate Burton Richter Will Give Brickwedde Lecture By Michael Purdy Homewood As governments everywhere strive to find a way to cope with the rising costs of electricity, natural gas and oil, a Nobel laureate is planning to describe in a speech at Hopkins a different perspective on the future of energy. Burton Richter, director emeritus of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and co-recipient of the 1976 Nobel Prize in physics, will give a talk titled "Energy in the 21st Century" on April 24. The talk begins at 4 p.m. in the Schafler Auditorium of the Bloomberg Center for Physics and Astronomy at Homewood. Richter plans to describe the strains that the energy demands of Earth's rapidly growing populations are placing on the economy and the environment. He believes a transition to sustainable development requires humanity to shift its attention "away from carbon-based fuels toward a mix of renewable forms of energy, nuclear power and massive conservation efforts." Richter will critique renewable energy resources, describing the promise and the problems that each may bring. Richter's talk is part of the annual Brickwedde Lecture Series, funded through a grant from Milton Brickwedde and his wife, Langhorn Howard Brickwedde. Milton Brickwedde received his doctorate in

Caller: Am I speaking to Douglas Osheroff? Osheroff (annoyed): Yes. It's 2:30 in the morning. Caller: I know it is, but I have a very urgent message for you ... Osheroff: Yes? Caller: ... I am Carl-Olof Jacobson, the secretary general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and I would like to congratulate you because the academy just decided that you, together with David Lee and Sir Robert Richardson, have been awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in physics ... Osheroff: My goodness! Jacobson: ... for your discovery of superfluidity in helium-3. Osheroff (softer): My goodness. "I realized at that very moment that my life was changing," Stanford physicist Osheroff says of the call that came in the wee hours of Oct. 9, 1996. "I had really no idea what my new life was going to be like and how well I would like it. I was quite happy with my old life." How has the Nobel Prize changed Stanford winners' lives?

Issue date: December 30, 1998 Dorfan succeeds Richter as head of Stanford Linear Accelerator Jonathan Dorfan, associate director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, will step up to the top position at SLAC next year, Stanford President Gerhard Casper announced last week. Dr. Dorfan, who according to SLAC was hand-picked by his predecessor Burton Richter, has since 1994 led SLAC's B-Factory project to pursue the question of why we live in a universe dominated by matter, rather than equal parts matter and anti-matter. Nobel Prize laureate Burton Richter, who has directed SLAC since 1984, recently announced he is stepping down at the end of August. He will continue conducting physics research and working on science policy at Stanford, where he is the Paul Pigott Professor of Physical Sciences. The selection of Dr. Dorfan for the top position was widely praised within the SLAC and Stanford communities. Renowned theoretical physicist Sidney Drell, SLAC's deputy director emeritus, issued a statement saying: "Jonathan has shown outstanding talents as the builder and manager of a major high-energy facility, the B-Factory. "He does excellent science and has shown all the important capabilities of leadership. He has the vision and has thought seriously about where we should go."

The University Record, May 24 , 1999 Michigan Great Samuel C. C. Ting: Nobel Laureate physicist has long, strong ties with U www.research.umich.edu/research/news/michigangreats.html By Lee Katterman Office of the Vice President for Research Ting After receiving his Ph.D., Ting went to CERN as a Ford Foundation postdoctoral scholar, then joined the faculty at Columbia University where he became interested in the physics of electron-positron pair production. (A positron is a nuclear particle like an electron, but with a positive charge.) In the spring of 1972, Ting, then on the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, began experiments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, again involving electron-positron pairs. In August 1974, his experiments produced a surprising reading, which Ting immediately recognized as something very different from theoretical expectations. In 1976, Ting, only 40 years old, and Richter shared the Nobel Prize in Physics. Less than two years had passed since their dual discoveries, the shortest time span from a discovery to such recognition in Nobel history. Today, Ting is the Thomas Dudley Cabot Institute professor of physics at MIT, but maintains many links to Michigan. Last fall, he organized a special symposium at CERN to honor Jones on the occasion of his retirement from the U-M faculty. Ting has helped the Department of Physics with faculty recruitment, and two of his former graduate students, Jianming Qian and Bing Zhou, are members of the faculty.

Environment Newsroom Administration Directory ... More Brookhaven history Discovery of the J/psi Particle, 1976 The 1976 Nobel Prize in physics was shared by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher who used Brookhaven's Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) to discover a new particle and confirm the existence of the charmed quark. Samuel C.C. Ting (right) was credited for finding what he called the "J" particle, the same particle as the "psi" found at nearly the same time at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center by a group led by Burton Richter. The particle is now known as the J/psi. Ting's experiment took advantage of the AGS's high-intensity proton beams, which bombarded a stationary target to produce showers of particles that could be detected by complex detectors. A strong peak in electron and positron production at an energy of 3.1 billion electron volts (GeV) led Ting to suspect the presence of a new particle, the same one found by Richter. Their discoveries not only won the Nobel Prize; they also helped confirm the existence of the charmed quark the J/psi is composed of a charmed quark bound to its antiquark.

Davis shares the prize with Masatoshi Koshiba of Japan, and Riccardo Giacconi of the U.S. In awarding the prize to Davis and Koshiba, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited both “for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos.” Giacconi was cited “for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic X-ray sources.” The Nobel laureates will be awarded their prizes at a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10. The prize consists of a diploma, a medal and 10 million Swedish kroner (roughly 1 million U.S. dollars) shared among the recipients. “Neutrinos are fascinating particles, so tiny and fast that they can pass straight through everything, even the earth itself, without even slowing down,” said Davis. “When I began my work, I was intrigued by the idea of learning something new. The interesting thing about doing new experiments is that you never know what the answer is going to be!”
