Particle Physics Pioneer Dies

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ITHACA, N.Y., Dec. 4, 2006 -- Particle physics pioneer Bernard Gittelman, 74, Cornell University professor emeritus of physics, died in Ithaca on Nov. 25, the university reported. The cause of death was amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease). Gittelman was a pioneer in the design and development of storage rings at the Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory at Cornell. He led in the design and construction of the CLEO detector, the multi-university collaboration devoted to exploiting the production and decay of new particles containing heavy quarks from the Cornell Electron Storage Ring....Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
