Kuhn: You began, Sir, as a student of engineering. Cockcroft: No, I began as a student of mathematics in Manchester in 1914 but I was only there for two terms and then I went to — after the war. When I came back I was a student of engineering. So I stopped the mathematics and went to engineering and then went back to mathematics at Cambridge. Kuhn: What accounted for that switch?
Vivió 1897 - 1967. John Cockcroft ganó el Premio Nobel de Física de 1951 con su colega Ernest Walton por producir la primera desintegración nuclear artificial de la historia. Cockcroft & Walton diseñó y construyó el primer acelerador de partículas de "alta energía". Como un beneficio secundario notable, su experimento demostró que la ...
John Douglas Cockcroft (ur. 27 maja 1897 w Todmorden , zm. 18 września 1967 w Cambridge [1] ) – brytyjski fizyk , laureat Nagrody Nobla w dziedzinie fizyki z roku 1951 za pionierskie prace związane z przekształceniem jąder atomowych za pomocą sztucznie przyspieszanych cząstek (nagroda wspólna z Ernestem Waltonem ) [2] [3] .
Sir John Douglas Cockcroft (1897 – 1967).Físico británico que obtuvo el premio Nobel en 1951 por sus trabajos pioneros en el campo de la desintegración del núcleo atómico por medio de partículas subatómicas aceleradas artificialmente.
1961 Awarded the Atoms for Peace Award. 1967 Sep 18th Died in Cambridge, England. John Douglas Cockcroft was a British physicist and recipient of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Physics. He was a member of the Tizard Mission to the United States in the autumn of 1940. He was later appointed Head of the Air Defence Research and Development Establishment.
Cockcroft, who was both a student and Fellow at St John’s, is perhaps best known for the pioneering 1932 experiment in which he and his fellow researcher, Ernest Walton, transformed the nucleus of a lithium atom by bombarding it with high-energy particles. This feat, which was somewhat inaccurately dubbed the “splitting” of the atom ...
History. The Cockcroft Institute is a centre of excellence. The Institute was proposed in September 2003 and officially opened by the UK Minister for Science, Lord Sainsbury, in September 2006. It is located at Daresbury Laboratory and is adjacent to the Daresbury Innovation Centre. The Scottish Centre for the Applications of Plasma-based ...
