Luis Walter Alvarez (June 13, 1911 – September 1, 1988) was an American experimental physicist, inventor, and professor who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1968 for his discovery of resonance states in particle physics using the hydrogen bubble chamber. [1]

Luis Alvarez (born June 13, 1911, San Francisco, California, U.S.—died September 1, 1988, Berkeley, California) was an American experimental physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1968 for work that included the discovery of many resonance particles (subatomic particles having extremely short lifetimes and occurring only in ...

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"

An experimental physicist, Luis Walter Alvarez was known for the discovery of resonance particles and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1968. His scientific inclination could be credited to his father and grandfather, as both of them were physicians.

2018年5月21日 · Alvarez, Luis Walter (1911–88) US physicist who received the 1968 Nobel Prize in physics for developing the liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber. Alvarez used it to identify many ‘resonances’ (very short-lived particles).

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 …

In 1943, Alvarez joined the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago’s Met Lab, working on equipment designed to detect possible German nuclear reactors and assisting in the operation of CP-2.

Wary of being trapped in an administrative position, the 32-year-old Alvarez hankered to return to scientific research. In the summer of 1943 he left the Radiation Laboratory and radar work. He would return to physics—nuclear physics. Soon Alvarez …

Luis W. Alvarez was perhaps the best-known Hispanic scientist of the twentieth century, excelling in experimental physics and engineering. In the 1940s he worked on the Manhattan Project designing the detonating device for the first atomic bomb.
