The Nobel Prize in Physics 1968 was awarded to Luis Walter Alvarez "for his decisive contributions to elementary particle physics, in particular the discovery of a large number of resonance states, made possible through his development of the technique of using hydrogen bubble chamber and data analysis"
May 21, 2018 · Luis Walter Alvarez: 1911-1988: Nuclear physicist, inventor, educator. One of the most versatile scientists and inventors of the 20th century, Luis Walter Alvarez used his expertise to impact optics, flight, warfare, and the tracking and measurement of subatomic particles.
Mar 22, 2024 · On August 6, 1945, Alvarez was a scientific observer on a B-29 Superfortress that flew alongside the Enola Gay that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. He wrote this letter to his young son describing the experience.
Dr. Alvarez is responsible for the design and construction of the Berkeley 40-foot proton linear accelerator, which was completed in 1947. Since that time, he has engaged in high energy physics, using the 6 billion electron volt Bevatron at the University of California Radiation Laboratory.
