In his lecture, Michael J. Devine, director of the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library, speaks on “The Atomic Bombs President Truman Did Not Drop: Nuclear Weapons from Hiroshima to the Dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur.”
On December 5, 2011, the PHENIX collaboration celebrated its 20th anniversary at a symposium, which began with some speakers’ recollections of early challenges and struggles in getting PHENIX approved, designed, and built. The speakers continued their talks with recounts of the many successes that occurred during the first 11 years of operations at RHIC, and ended with predictions of continued success for both RHIC and PHENIX in the next decade.
A ceremony was held in Berkner Hall on September 23, 2011, in which the American Physical Society (APS) honored Brookhaven National Laboratory as a historic site in the advancement of the field of physics. APS President Barry Barish presents a plaque to commemorate the honor, and several speakers — including Laboratory Director Sam Aronson — recap Brookhaven’s longstanding contributions to advancing the field of physics and highlight its plans for the future. (This is the full-length video of the event. Talks are also available as individual videos on this website.)
Lab Director Sam Aronson speaks at the ceremony at which the American Physical Society (APS) honored Brookhaven National Laboratory as a historic site in the advancement of the field of physics. Connecting the Laboratory’s expertise and research of its past to the expertise and research of its future, Aronson focuses on the Laboratory’s work in nuclear and particle physics, condensed matter physics, life sciences, environmental sciences, and the chain of activities from discovery to deployment.
Barry Barish, American Physical Society (APS) President, speaks at the ceremony at which the APS honored Brookhaven National Laboratory as a historic site in the advancement of the field of physics.
Nick Samios, Director of the RIKEN BNL Research Center and former Brookhaven Laboratory Director, speaks at the ceremony at which the American Physical Society (APS) honored Brookhaven National Laboratory as a historic site in the advancement of the field of physics. Samios discusses physics discoveries and contributions resulting from work done through the Laboratory’s facilities and major programs.
BNL Senior Physicist Emeritus, former American Physical Society (APS) Editor-in-Chief, and former BNL Deputy Director Martin Blume speaks at the ceremony in which the APS honored Brookhaven National Laboratory as a historic site in the advancement of the field of physics. Blume tells the story of Brookhaven scientists Renate Chasman and Kenneth Green who developed the Chasman-Green Lattice, a critical component for BNL’s National Synchrotron Light Source, other light sources around the world, and the future NSLS-II.
Bob Crease, BNL Historian and Stony Brook University Philosophy Department Chair, speaks at the ceremony at which the American Physical Society (APS) honored Brookhaven National Laboratory as a historic site in the advancement of the field of physics. Crease highlights some of the important people, facilities, and scientific developments in the evolution of Laboratory during its six-decade+ history.
