Jun 26, 2024 · Past LNS graduate students have included Murray Gell-Mann, one of the architects of the Standard Model of Physics and Burton Richter, the co-discoverer of the charmed quark. Graduate students in LNS focus early on mastering the rigorous curriculum in fundamental principles demanded of all MIT Physics Ph.Ds. Typically, by the third ...

5 days ago · In the 1950s, Curt Richter, a professor at Johns Hopkins, did a famous drowning rats psychology experiment. This experiment, though cruel, demonstrated the power of hope and resilience in overcoming difficult situations.
Jul 3, 2024 · Burton Richter (March 22, 1931 – July 18, 2018) was an American physicist. He led the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) team which co-discovered the J/ψ meson in 1974, alongside the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) team led by Samuel Ting for which they won Nobel Prize for Physics in 1976.
Jul 5, 2024 · Jacques entered Ecole Normale Supérieure in 1954 and later went to Stanford, where he worked under Burton Richter on the pioneering Colliding Beam machine to collide electrons in flight using two storage rings.
