Extractions: Luis W. Alvarez was born in San Francisco, Calif., on June 13, 1911. He received his B.Sc. from the University of Chicago in 1932, a M.Sc. in 1934, and his Ph.D. in 1936. Dr. Alvarez joined the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California, where he is now a professor, as a research fellow in 1936. He was on leave at the Radiation Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1940 to 1943, at the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago in 1943-1944, and at the Los Alamos Laboratory of the Manhattan District from 1944 to 1945. Early in his scientific career, Dr. Alvarez worked concurrently in the fields of optics and cosmic rays. He is co-discoverer of the "East-West effect" in cosmic rays. For several years he concentrated his work in the field of nuclear physics. In 1937 he gave the first experimental demonstration of the existence of the phenomenon of K -electron capture by nuclei. Another early development was a method for producing beams of very slow neutrons. This method subsequently led to a fundamental investigation of neutron scattering in ortho- and para-hydrogen, with Pitzer, and to the first measurement, with Bloch, of the magnetic moment of the neutron. With Wiens, he was responsible for the production of the first

Sept. 1, 1988, Berkeley, Calif.), American experimental physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1968 for work that included the discovery of many resonance particles (subatomic particles having extremely short lifetimes and occurring only in high-energy nuclear collisions). Alvarez studied physics at the University of Chicago (B.S., 1932; M.S., 1934; Ph.D., 1936). He joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, in 1936, becoming professor of physics in 1945 and professor emeritus in 1978. In 1938 Alvarez discovered that some radioactive elements decay by orbital-electron capture; i.e., an orbital electron merges with its nucleus, producing an element with an atomic number smaller by one. In 1939 he and Felix Bloch made the first measurement of the magnetic moment of the neutron, a characteristic of the strength and direction of its magnetic field. Alvarez worked on microwave radar research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge (1940-43), and participated in the development of the atomic bomb at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Los Alamos, N.M., in 1944-45. He suggested the technique for detonating the implosion type of atomic bomb. He also participated in the development of microwave beacons, linear radar antennas, the ground-controlled landing approach system, and a method for aerial bombing using radar to locate targets. After World War II Alvarez helped construct the first proton linear accelerator and developed the liquid hydrogen bubble chamber in which subatomic particles and their reactions are detected.

He also soon knew the contents "of every drawer and cabinet in the Radiation Laboratory," and resurrected the first small cyclotrons from oblivion. Key to his evolution as a scientist was Ernest Lawrence's journal club, meeting every Monday night at 7:30 a tradition that continued for decades in Luis' home. Also influential was the "Bethe Bible," three articles published by Hans Bethe in Reviews of Modern Physics in 1936 and 1937. Luis' highly developed competitive spirit was stimulated by these 468 pages "If he (Bethe) said a phenomenon would never be observable, I wanted to prove him wrong, which would make both of us happy. In several significant instances over the next four years, I did." Luis' discoveries in Physics are treated at length in his autobiography and in Discovering Alvarez cube of the range to the submarine. As the aircraft approached, the submarine would detect

Extractions: American physicist who studied short-lived resonance particles in bubble chambers This work won him the 1968 Nobel Prize in physics. Alvarez was also the first to notice a layer of iridium-enriched clay at the Cretacious-Tertiary (K-T) boundary. This suggested that the impact of a meteor (which are rich in Ir) may have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs, a thesis which has now met with general acceptance.

Extractions: At 18 years old Luis studied chemistry and math at the University of Chicago. Wanting to excel in his field, he chose physics, the subject he loved the most. Doing experiments was his favorite thing, and he invented new ways to measure, observe and test the physical laws of nature. He built machines as well. One of his firsts was called a Geiger Counter (invented by Hans Geiger) which measures radiation. In 1932, he received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Chicago. In 1934, he then received his Master of Science Degree. Lastly, he received his Ph.D. in 1936. In the same year, he joined the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California where he is currently a professor. Alvarez met Ernest Lawrence, one of the world's leading nuclear scientists, who invited him to work in his Radiation Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley. Alvarez's job was to help run the cyclotron, a machine that studies atoms. Alvarez helped make many new important discoveries about atoms. In 1940, as a result of World War II, Alvarez and a group of scientists built a radar system to help guide airplanes through 'fog or darkness. In this system, a radio signal bounces off a lost plane and back to the sender of the signal, who then guides the plane safely to the ground.

Extractions: Luis W. and Walter Alvarez The careers of the physicist Luis Alvarez and the geologist Walter Alvarez have had a remarkable interdisciplinary convergence in the topic that is the subject of the seventeenth George Gamow Memorial Lecture. Luis Alvarez was born in San Francisco in 1911. He received his B.A. degree and his Ph.D. degree (1936) from the University of Chicago and he is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He worked with Arthur Compton in early cosmic ray studies and with Ernest Lawrence in pioneering work with the 60-inch cyclotron. He discovered nuclear beta decay by electron capture (K-capture) and participated in the first measurement of the magnetic moment of the neutron. Luis Alvarez designed the first proton linear accelerator and he became a leader in the group that developed the liquid hydrogen bubble chamber for studies of muon catalysis and strange particle resonances. For work in these areas he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1968. Walter Alvarez was born in Berkeley, California in 1940. His B.A. degree is from Carleton College and his Ph.D. degree in geology is from Princeton (1967). He holds the position of Professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics of the University of California, Berkeley. He is a field geologist specializing in stratigraphic and structural geology, and in microplate and mountain belt tectonics. He also worked in the fields of paleomagnetism, seismology, oceanography, and in archeological geology studies. His work includes major field studies in Colombia and in Soviet Central Asia. In recent years he has concentrated on the structural geology and plate tectonics of the Alpine-Mediterranean region from the Alps to North Africa.
