Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton was born at Dungarvan, County Waterford on the south coast of Ireland on October 6th, 1903, the son of a Methodist Minister from County Tipperary. The ministry demanded that his father move from place to place every few years, and he attended day schools in Banbridge (County Down) and Cookstown (County Tyrone). In 1915 he was sent as a boarder to the Methodist College, Belfast, where he excelled in mathematics and science, and in 1922 he entered Trinity College, Dublin , on a scholarship. He read the honours courses in both mathematics and experimental science, specializing in physics, and graduated in 1926 with firstclass honours in both subjects; he received his M.Sc. degree in 1927. In 1927, he was awarded a Research Scholarship by the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 and he went to Cambridge University to work in the Cavendish Laboratory under Lord Rutherford . He continued at Cambridge after receiving a senior research award of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in 1930, and received his Ph.D. in 1931. Walton was Clerk Maxwell Scholar from 1932 to 1934 when he returned to Trinity College, Dublin, as Fellow: he was appointed Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy in 1946, and in 1960 he was elected Senior Fellow of Trinity College.

Walton, Ernest Thomas Sinton E.T.S. Walton By courtesy of A.J. Walton (b. Oct. 6, 1903, Dungarvan, County Waterford, Ire.d. June 25, 1995, Belfast, N.Ire.), Irish physicist, corecipient, with Sir John Douglas Cockcroft of England, of the 1951 Nobel Prize for Physics for the development of the first nuclear particle accelerator, known as the Cockcroft-Walton generator. After studying at the Methodist College, Belfast, and graduating in mathematics and experimental science from Trinity College, Dublin (1926), Walton went in 1927 to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was to work with Cockcroft in the Cavendish Laboratory under Lord Rutherford until 1934. In 1928 he attempted two methods of high-energy particle acceleration. Both failed, mainly because the available power sources could not generate the necessary energies, but his methods were later developed and used in the betatron and the linear accelerator. Then in 1929 Cockcroft and Walton devised an accelerator that generated large numbers of particles at lower energies. With this device in 1932 they disintegrated lithium nuclei with protons, the first artificial nuclear reaction not utilizing radioactive substances. After gaining his Ph.D. at Cambridge, Walton returned to Trinity College, Dublin, in 1934, where he remained as a fellow for the next 40 years and a fellow emeritus thereafter. He was Erasmus Smith professor of natural and experimental philosophy from 1946 to 1974 and chairman of the School of Cosmic Physics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies after 1952.

Walton, Ernest (Thomas Sinton) Irish physicist who collaborated with John Cockcroft on investigating the structure of the atom. In 1932 they succeeded in splitting the atom; for this experiment they shared the 1951 Nobel Prize for Physics. Walton and Cockcroft built the first successful particle accelerator. This used an arrangement of condensers to produce a beam of protons and was completed in 1932. Walton was born in County Waterford and studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and 1927-34 at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. He returned to Trinity and was professor there 1947-74. Using the proton beam to bombard lithium, Walton and Cockcroft observed the production of large quantities of alpha particles, showing that the lithium nuclei had captured the protons and formed unstable beryllium nuclei which instantaneously decayed into two alpha particles travelling in opposite directions. They detected these alpha particles with a fluorescent screen. Later they investigated the transmutation of other light elements using proton beams, and also deuterons (nuclei of deuterium) derived from heavy water.

Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton, 1903-95 Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton, Nobel Laureate and Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics, who died on 25 June 1995, was one of the legendary band of nuclear physicists who made 1932 an annus mirabilis . With John Cockcroft he caught the world's attention when he 'split the atom' (more properly its nucleus) by artificial means. This was no large-scale, extravagant experiment, and still less did Walton crave the great fame which he achieved. A modest man, his great skills lay in his keen mind, love of physics, and exceptional dexterity, qualities which remained with him throughout his long life. His achievement realised the alchemist's age-old dream of transmutation in a dramatically novel way. In 1919, Rutherford had already induced the nuclear reaction N + alpha = O + p using alpha particles from a radioactive source. Driven by the great man's call for 'a million volts in a soapbox', Walton and Cockcroft built an accelerator which provided a far greater and more controllable particle flux than had previously been available from radio-isotopes. The particles being accelerated were singly charged protons rather than doubly charged nuclei of helium atoms. This increased the chance of nuclear reactions occurring, as the electrostatic repulsion between projectile and target nucleus was smaller. The accelerator was built in a disused room in Rutherford's Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, and was supplied with several hundred kilovolts from a voltage multiplier circuit designed and built by Cockroft and Walton. Odd bits and pieces of equipment and even recycled pieces of wood and nails were used, as was standard practice in the Cavendish. Part of the apparatus is now in the Science Museum in London.

BUSINESS A Nobel calling Fionnula Quinlan looks at nine Irish men and women who made their mark in historyPOETRY, peacemaking and physics have earned Irish men and women their place in the pantheon of Nobel Laureates. John Hume and David Trimble, who shared the award in the heady days following the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, may be the best-known today. But they were following in the footsteps of Sean MacBride and Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan whose efforts to secure peace, both on Northern Ireland's bloodstained streets and across the globe, were recognised with the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1970s. While many would stop short of calling these peacemakers saints, Ireland's scholars have garnered certain glory on the international stage. WB Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney were paid the ultimate tribute for their literary works, while Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton shared the Nobel Prize for physics in 1951. Yeats was the first to be honoured in 1923: "For his always-inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation."
