ALVAREZ, Luis (1911-1988); Edwin MCMILLAN (B. 1907); Emilio SEGRÉ (1905-1989) and others. Physics 290(f). Mimeographed typescript on rectos. N.p., n.d. [Berkeley, circa 1950]. 4o. Loose sheets with holes punched in left margin, preserved in a modern binder and cloth folding case.
Mimeographed typescript. This syllabus for U.C. Berkeley's course in experimental physics, given circa 1950, includes lectures by three Nobel Laureates: Luis Alvarez, winner of the 1968 physics prize for his decisive contributions to elementary particle physics, lecturing on linear accelerators; Edwin McMillan, co-discoverer of the first transuranic element (neptunium) and sharer (with Glenn Seaborg) of the 1951 Nobel Prize for chemistry, lecturing on general accelerator considerations; and Emilio Segré, who shared with Owen Chamberlain the 1959 Nobel Prize for physics for their discovery of the antiproton, lecturing on ionization chambers. Published for the use of students in the class, EPHEMERAL AND UNUSUALLY SCARCE.
