Previous News for January 2003 Next Nobel laureates oppose war against Iraq 29 January 2003 Forty-one American Nobel laureates have signed a declaration opposing war with Iraq. The declaration was organised by Walter Kohn, a theoretical physicist at the University of California at Santa Barbara, and former adviser to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at the Pentagon. The signatories include 19 winners of the physics prize. The declaration reads: "The undersigned oppose a preventive war against Iraq without broad international support. Military operations against Iraq may indeed lead to a relatively swift victory in the short term. But war is characterized by surprise, human loss and unintended consequences. Even with a victory, we believe that the medical, economic, environmental, moral, spiritual, political and legal consequences of an American preventive attack on Iraq would undermine, not protect, US security and standing in the world." The signatories include Norman Ramsey, who worked on the Manhattan Project, and Charles Townes, a former research director of the Institute for Defense Analyses at the Pentagon. Townes was also chairman of a federal panel that studied nuclear warheads.

Former `U' prof. wins Nobel Prize By Cathy Boguslaski and Michelle Lee Thompson Daily Staff Reporters A former University physics professor was one of two people awarded the Nobel Prize in physics yesterday. Martin L. Perl, who taught at the University from 1955-63, received the Nobel Prize for his discovery in 1975 of the tau lepton, a super-heavy cousin of the electron. Perl is currently a professor at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He shares the discovery and $1 million award with Frederick Reives of the University of California at Irvine. Vice President for Research Homer A. Neal commended Perl for his accomplishments. "I'm delighted that he won it," said Neal, who did graduate research under Perl, while the two were here. "He fully deserves it. The discovery of the tau lepton was a major breakthrough in the field of high-energy physics." Keith Riles, a University assistant physics professor, said, "His discovery came as a complete surprise to most of us, even though he'd been looking for it for a long time." Perl was Riles' Ph.D. adviser at Stanford.

48. 32 Nobel Laureates In Physics Back Atomic Test Ban from the grave that of Henry W. Kendall, a nobel laureate at D. Osheroff, StanfordUniversity; Arno Penzias, Bell Labs; martin L. perl, Stanford University http://tms.physics.lsa.umich.edu/214/other/news/100699nobels-test-ban.html

October 6, 1999 32 Nobel Laureates in Physics Back Atomic Test Ban Related Article Both Parties Seek Graceful Way to Put Off Nuclear Treaty Vote By WILLIAM J. BROAD group of 32 Nobel laureates in physics on Tuesday urged the Senate to approve the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, calling it "central to future efforts to halt the spread of nuclear weapons." U.S. approval is imperative, the scientists said, and would mark "an important advance in uniting the world in an effort to contain and reduce the dangers of nuclear arms." The plea was conveyed by the American Physical Society, the world's leading group of physicists, which sent letters Tuesday to every senator. Representatives of the group said they knew of no instance in which so many prominent American physicists had shown such unity. "To line up this many physics Nobel laureates is unprecedented," said Dr. Robert L. Park, a physicist at the University of Maryland who directs the group's Washington office. The 32 signers range from hawks to doves, Park pointed out, making the appeal wide and deep. A few are former designers of nuclear arms, a field dominated by physicists. Jerome I. Friedman, the president of the physics group, a Nobel laureate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an organizer of the letter, said the test ban "is important for the future of humankind, and therefore has to be taken extremely seriously."

letter from nobel laureates July 6, 2000 President William Jefferson Clinton The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20502 Dear Mr. President: We urge you not to make the decision to deploy an anti-ballistic missile system during the remaining months of your administration. The system would offer little protection and would do grave harm to this nation's core security interests. We and other independent scientists have long argued that anti-ballistic missile systems, particularly those attempting to intercept reentry vehicles in space, will inevitably lose in an arms race of improvements to offensive missiles. North Korea has taken dramatic steps toward reconciliation with South Korea. Other dangerous states will arise. But what would such a state gain by attacking the United States except its own destruction? While the benefits of the proposed anti-ballistic missile system are dubious, the dangers created by a decision to deploy are clear. It would be difficult to persuade Russia or China that the United States is wasting tens of billions of dollars on an ineffective missile system against small states that are unlikely to launch a missile attack on the U.S. The Russians and Chinese must therefore conclude that the presently planned system is a stage in developing a bigger system directed against them. They may respond by restarting an arms race in ballistic missiles and having missiles in a dangerous "launch-on-warning" mode. Even if the next planned test of the proposed anti-ballistic missile system works as planned, any movement toward deployment would be premature, wasteful and dangerous.
