Foreword to the Collected Works of Robert Hofstadter Robert Herman University of Texas "... time does not flow on emptily; it brings, and takes, and leaves behind." - Wilhelm von Humboldt As I write this Foreword to the collected papers of one of my closest and dearest friends, Robert Hofstadter, my mind is filled with a wide panorama of wonderful recollections coupled with a profound feeling of sadness. Our lives were intertwined over a very long period of time, extending from 1931 until November 1990, during which we were close friends and scientific colleagues. Bob had a deep yearning for knowledge and a constant striving toward creative achievement. Throughout his life, he deeply loved nature - a fact that I learned early on and came to appreciate even more as I saw Bob in later years at his ranch near Flournoy, California. As a youth he collected insects, leaves, and rocks, and developed a great interest in photography, which he pursued much of his life. One of Bob's passions was music, both classical and jazz, which he truly enjoyed over the years. Perhaps above all he was a gentle and modest man with great integrity and a lifelong appreciation of humor and good fun. For many years I encouraged Bob to write about his life and experiences, but he always demurred on the grounds that he couldn't write very well and that he had nothing all that interesting to say. Of course he was wrong on both counts. To compensate in a small way for his not having written any memoirs, I will myself touch on some personal recollections. Indeed, I have often felt that the way we do our work is perhaps more important in a sense than the specific accomplishments themselves.

With findings drawn from his research on a particle accelerator, this physicist shed light on atomic structure and helped create an identifying order for subatomic particles. He also correctly predicted the existence of hte omega-meson and rho-meson. These feats, coupled with his studies of controlled nuclear fission, earned a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1961.

Byl schopen pøesnì urèit velikost protonu a neutronu a jako první nalezl první konzistentní obraz struktury atomového jádra. Objevil, že protony i neutrony jsou složeny z centrálního jádra, které je kladnì nabité a je obklopené dvojitým oblakem pí-mesonù. V protonu jsou oba mraky mezonù nabity kladnì, kdežto v neutronu je vnitøní oblak nabit zápornì, tudíž je výsledný náboj neutronu roven nule.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Robert Hofstadter By Jerome I. Friedman and William A. Little R OBERT HOFSTADTER WAS BORN in New York City, educated on the East Coast, but spent most of his academic career at Stanford University. He is best known for his work on determining the distribution of charge and magnetic moment in the nuclei of atoms and of the nucleons themselves, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1961. He extended the work done in the early part of the twentieth century by Ernest Rutherford, who had shown that atoms were composite, containing electrons and a nucleus many thousands of times smaller than the atom. Rutherford discovered this by scattering alpha particles from thin metal foils of the elements and measuring the number of particles scattered as a function of the angle. The surprisingly large number of particles that were scattered through large angles could only be explained by collisions with a heavy, very small, perhaps point-like, positively charged object, which he called the nucleus. Some 40 years later Hofstadter determined the internal structure of such nuclei by scattering high-energy electrons from thin targets and measuring the distribution of the number of these electrons as a function of angle. In these experiments he built on earlier work by others on electron-electron scattering from atoms and electron-nuclear scattering by Hanson, Lyman, and Scott at Illinois done at lower energies in 1951. Hofstadter showed that the nuclei had internal structure extending over a small but measurable distance and that the heavier nuclei had a relatively uniform density within a thin surface skin. The Nobel committee considered this to be the first "reasonably consistent" picture of the structure of the nucleus.

In that fashion, the totality of the work at CRCC possesses a coherence that might at first not be apparent. The cognitive modeling at CRCC is based on the thesis that mental activity consists of many tiny independent events and that the seeming unity of a human mind is merely a consequence of the regularity of the statistics of such large collections of events. Thus the metaphor of the "intelligent ant colony" and the image of "active concepts" (as set forth in the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach") have inspired our models for over two decades. The models all involve the nondeterministic interaction of many tiny events that take place in simulated parallel. The models also feature both long-term and short-term memories, the former of which houses permanent concepts, and the latter of which is like a stage on which temporary mental structures are built, modified, and eventually razed. Events in each memory profoundly influence the multiple tiny parallel processes, and in that way, each memory affects what goes on in the other.

Robert Hofstadter From Nobel Lectures , Physics (In corso di traduzione in italiano) The Nobel Prize in Physics Robert Hofstadter , Professor of Physics at Stanford University, was born in New York, N.Y., of parents Louis Hofstadter and Henrietta Koenigsberg, on February 5, 1915. Hofstadter attended elementary and high schools in New York City, and was graduated in 1935 from the College of the City of New York with the B.S. degree, magna cum laude During the war years Hofstadter worked first at the National Bureau of Standards and later at the Norden Laboratory Corporation. He left industry at the end of the war to become Assistant Professor of Physics at Princeton University. At Princeton he carried out research on crystal conduction counters, on the Compton effect, and on scintillation counters. In 1948 he discovered that sodium iodide, activated by thallium, made an excellent scintillation counter. In 1950, with J. A. McIntyre, he found that well-formed crystals of this material provided remarkable energy-measuring devices for gamma rays and energetic particles and thus could be used as spectrometers in addition to gamma-ray and particle counters of high efficiency. In 1950 Hofstadter left Princeton to become Associate Professor of Physics at Stanford University where he initiated a program on the scattering of energetic electrons from the linear accelerator, invented by W. W. Hansen, which was then under construction. While building equipment for the electron-scattering experiments, he continued working on scintillation counters and developed new detectors for neutrons and X-rays. High-speed inorganic (CsF) and useful Cerenkov (TlCl) counters were discovered at Stanford. Other studies carried out in the early years at Stanford were concerned with cosmic rays and with cascade showers generated by high-speed electrons.
