Extractions: Donald Arthur Glaser was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 21, 1926, the son of William J. Glaser, a businessman, and his wife Lena. He received his early education in the public schools of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and took his B.Sc. degree in physics and mathematics at the Case Institute of Technology in 1946. His first original research is described in his bachelor's thesis and consists of an electron diffraction study of the properties of thin metallic films evaporated onto crystalline metal substrates. After serving as a teacher of mathematics at the Case Institute of Technology during the spring of 1946, he began his graduate study at the California Institute of Technology in the autumn of the same year, finishing his Ph.D. work in the autumn of 1949, and receiving his degree in physics and mathematics officially in 1950. His doctoral thesis research was an experimental study of the momentum spectrum of high energy cosmic ray and mesons at sea level.

Extractions: in full DONALD ARTHUR GLASER (b. Sept. 21, 1926, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.) American physicist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1960 for his invention and development of the bubble chamber a research instrument used to observe the behaviour of subatomic particles. After graduating from Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, in 1946, Glaser attended California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, where he received his Ph.D. in physics in 1949, then began teaching at the University of Michigan, where he was professor of physics until 1959. There he conceived the idea for the bubble chamber, which has become a widely used instrument because it allows precise measurement of the paths of subatomic particles. At the age of 34, Glaser was one of the youngest scientists ever to be awarded a Nobel Prize. In 1959 he joined the staff of the University of California at Berkeley, where he became professor of physics and molecular biology in 1964.

Extractions: The situation is completely different in the nuclear physics of today, where one now has at one's disposal particle accelerators with energies as high as 25 billion volts, for example the accelerator which has recently been built at the European nuclear research center in Geneva. In other words, energies which are more than 1,000 times larger than those which were earlier obtainable. In order to be able to register such particles during the entire time of flight interval, one would be forced to use a Wilson-chamber of the inconceivable size of 100 meters or more. It is obviously necessary to use a medium other than gas in order to be able to bring such particles to rest. Donald Glaser has succeeded in solving this problem and his so-called "bubble-chamber" is the high energy nuclear physics counterpart to the low energy nuclear physics

UR Department Of Mathematics - Letter From Donald Glaser Up From donald A. glaser PhD, ScD Professor of Physics and of Neurobiology Universityof California at Berkeley nobel Laureate in Physics March 4, 1996. http://www.math.rochester.edu/renaissance/letters/glaser.html
Extractions: Dear Dr. Jackson, Rochester's move to seriously weaken its program in mathematics is difficult to understand at a school long known for real strength in physics and world-wide leadership in optics. After reducing the size of the permanent faculty by more than half, terminating the graduate program and relying on adjuncts for undergraduate teaching, it is hard to imagine that you will be able to attract top-level students in the physical sciences- graduate or undergraduate. In the areas in which I have done research, high energy physics and human vision, mathematical knowledge has often been an important part of understanding. The University of Rochester has been an outstanding contributor to both fields. On many occasions I have attended the famous Rochester Conferences in High Energy Physics, and later, workshops on optics and vision. Without a serious mathematics department, it is hard to imagine the University of Rochester remaining in the front ranks of American Universities in these and other fields. I hope my letter will be helpful in reaching a healthy balance in the face of the very difficult problems facing Rochester and all of our universities. Although I have no particular relationship with the University of Rochester, I believe that the weakening of any of our great universities is a weakening of our country, its culture, and its economy.

Extractions: By Lynn Yarris, LCYarris@LBL.gov The Nobel Prize is an accolade to achievement and the highest award in science. Nine Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize. The laureates five in physics, four in chemistry include the Laboratory's founder Ernest O. Lawrence, plus Luis Alvarez, Melvin Calvin, Owen Chamberlain, Donald Glaser, Edwin McMillan, Glenn Seaborg, Emilio Segre, and Yuan T. Lee. The story of Berkeley Lab's Nobel laureates begins with the discovery of uranium in 1879. Uranium was assigned number 92 on the periodic table, and was declared by many scientists to be the table's upper limit. In 1934, however, the great Italian physicist Enrico Fermi announced that bombarding an element with neutrons could transmute or convert that element to the next higher number. Fermi and his group then proceeded to blast uranium with neutrons in an effort to create element 93. They thought they had done so, naming their creation "uranium X," but subsequent efforts by others to repeat their experiments revealed that what the Fermi group had actually done was split the uranium atom in two a process called "nuclear fission." A multitude of experiments blossomed from this revelation and in 1940
