Meyerhof, Walter E. (Walter Ernst), 1922-American Institute of Physics - Niels Bohr Library and Archives6 pp.File includes a very brief typed response to questionnaire; Meyerhof left nuclear physics for atomic physics in 1972. Recipients were asked to discuss their entry into a scientific career in general and nuclear physics in particular, their work during the Second World War, their scientific achievements, the funding of their projects, the roles of related sciences--especially high energy physics--in their research, their work as educators, their perceptions of the public's attitude towards science, and their involvement in physics-related organizations.Contact InformationCatalog Record

Richards, Hugh T. (Hugh Taylor), 1918-American Institute of Physics - Niels Bohr Library and Archives21 p.File includes: accounts of Richard's graduate studies at Rice University with T.W. Bonner (measuring fast neutron energy spectra); his World War II work at Rice (on the Uranium Project), at the University of Minnesota, and at Los Alamos; his impressions of colleagues Hans Bethe, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, and Emilio Segré. File also includes a copy of a five-page talk given by Richards at the 1989 nuclear physics reunion at the University of Wisconsin. The talk, titled Early Interactions of H.T. Richards with the University of Wisconsin Nuclear Physics, briefly discusses research developments in precision energy measurement, resonance scattering studies, gamma ray studies, apparatus and accelerator developments, polarization studies, the Tandem Neutron Program, atomic and molecular effects, the Brazilian connection, quark search, tandem charged particle and relation studies, charged particle polarization studies, and ion implantation perturbed angular correlation ...

To expand your search, put an upper-case OR between your keywords.
For example, dust OR bowl retrieves records containing either dust or bowl.
How do I make my search more specific?
Put quotes around your keywords to find records with an exact phrase.
For example, "dust bowl" retrieves records with the words dust and bowl together).
What is a proximity search?
That is when you decide how close together you want your keywords to be in search results.
Simply put a ~ and a number between 1 and 4 at the end of your exact phrase to tell ArchiveGrid
how many other words are allowed to separate your keywords. For example, "dust bowl"~4 retrieves
records where dust and bowl appear within four words of each other.
What are finding aids?
Finding aids are records that describe collections and what they contain.
People who work at an institution that owns collections write the finding aids, and the
institution contributes finding aids to ArchiveGrid. We provide links to websites
for the departments which manage their institution's finding aids, so you can contact
them when you read a finding aid and want more information about something inside
the collection that interests you.
What is the difference between archives, manuscripts and special collections?
An archive typically stores and preserves material created by its parent institution,
while manuscripts and special collections typically store and preserve rare materials
and donated collections. Please explore our website to learn more about the world of archives!
