Maurice Goldhaber
U.S. physicist whose contributions to nuclear physics include the discovery
that the nucleus of the deuterium atom consists of a proton and a neutron. The
slow-neutron scattering studies he made in 1937 were essential to the
development of the first nuclear reactors. In 1938, with his wife,
Gertrude Scharff Goldhaber (also a physicist), he demonstrated that
electrons and beta rays are the same. In 1940 he discovered that beryllium is a
good moderator (a material that slows down fast neutrons so they more readily
split uranium atoms), and it has since been widely used in nuclear reactors.
President Clinton named Maurice Goldhaber as the winner of the Enrico Fermi Award, given for a lifetime of achievement in the field of nuclear energy. Maurice Goldhaber wikipedia Biography from Answers.com Goldhaber Distinguissed Postdoctoral Fellowships Maurice Goldhaber at amazon |
