Most earthquakes are minor tremors. Larger earthquakes usually begin with slight tremors but rapidly take the form of one or more violent shocks, and end in vibrations of gradually diminishing force called aftershocks. The subterranean point of origin of an earthquake is called its focus; the point on the surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. The magnitude and intensity of an earthquake is determined by the use of scales, e.g., the Richter scale and the Mercalli scale. Causes of Earthquakes Click the link for more information.

Richter, Burton I was born on 22 March 1931 in New York, the elder child of Abraham and Fanny Richter. In 1948 I entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, undecided between studies of chemistry and physics, but my first year convinced me that physics was more interesting to me. The most influential teacher in my undergraduate years was Professor Francis Friedman, who opened my eyes to the beauty of physics. In the summer following my junior year, I began work with Professor Francis Bitter in MIT's magnet laboratory. During that summer I had my introduction to the electron-positron system, working part-time with Professor Martin Deutsch, who was conducting his classical positronium experiments using a large magnet in Bitter's laboratory. Under Bitter's direction, I completed my senior thesis on the quadratic Zeeman effect in hydrogen. During my years at the synchrotron laboratory, I had become interested in the theory of quantum electrodynamics and had decided that what I would most like to do after completing my dissertation work was to probe the short-distance behavior of the electromagnetic interaction. So I sought a job at Stanford's High-Energy Physics Laboratory where there was a 700 MeV electron linear accelerator. My first experiment there, the study of electron-positron pairs by gamma-rays, established that quantum electrodynamics was correct to distances as small as about 10

TESTIMONY AT A HEARING OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY PROFESSOR BURTON RICHTER, DIRECTOR STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR CENTER May 8, 1996 INTRODUCTION The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a national facility operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). SLAC has been in continuous use for thirty years in a national research program that has made major contributions to our understanding of nature. The Center is one of the handful of laboratories worldwide that use accelerators to advance the study of the structure of matter and the forces between the basic building blocks of our world. The SLAC program is centered around electron accelerators and has two main thrusts: one is a program of experimental and theoretical research in elementary-particle physics, using electron beams; the other is a broad program of research in atomic and solid-state physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, using synchrotron radiation. Scientists from all over the country and from many

Author: P A Moore This Issue Back Issues Editorial Staff Celebration Honouring Burton Richter Winner of a Nobel Prize for physics, a longtime laboratory director and a leading figure in international science - Burton Richter's contributions range wide. A recent celebration at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center paid tribute. Burton Richter Haim Harari from the Weizmann Institute in Israel said it best: "On occasions like the celebration honouring Burton Richter, the talks require a formula: 30% physics, 30% nostalgia, 30% entertainment and 10% admiration." Other speakers at the day-long celebration held at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in January varied a great deal in these percentages. The day was, in turns, serious, funny and sentimental. When the balance shifted to the sweet side, Richter, now emeritus director of SLAC, commented: "You can get sick on too much sugar." Harari's presentation reviewed the November Revolution of 1974. He recalled mailing a letter home to Israel on 8 November of that year, saying that things were rather boring at SLAC and that he wished that he were at Fermilab. Two days later, the psi peak was discovered at the SPEAR electron-positron collider and Harari realized his good fortune in being at SLAC on such a momentous occasion. Weighing in heavily on the admiration end of the scale, both Martha Krebs, former director of the Office of Science at the Department of Energy (DOE), and John O'Fallon, head of the high-energy physics programme at the DOE, praised Richter for his candour and his mentoring of the young (and "not-so-young", according to Krebs). "Richter is a strong and ardent advocate for science," said O'Fallon. Known for having the last word in every situation, Richter shot back: "If I'm so good, how come I didn't get bigger budgets?"

This was a new kind of accelerator complex, and, though we had anticipated some of the new problems we would face, we had not anticipated all. Burton Richter Even before the ring at HEPL was operating, I had begun to think about a high-energy electron-positron colliding-beam machine and what one could do with it. Burton Richter Getting enough energy to satisfy the needs of the developing world without bringing on an eco-disaster is not going to be easy. It will require a marriage of science and technology with good international policy, something that is always hard to bring off. We need to get it right this time.

April 23, 2001 VOL. 30, NO. 31 Nobel Laureate Burton Richter Will Give Brickwedde Lecture By Michael Purdy Homewood As governments everywhere strive to find a way to cope with the rising costs of electricity, natural gas and oil, a Nobel laureate is planning to describe in a speech at Hopkins a different perspective on the future of energy. Burton Richter, director emeritus of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and co-recipient of the 1976 Nobel Prize in physics, will give a talk titled "Energy in the 21st Century" on April 24. The talk begins at 4 p.m. in the Schafler Auditorium of the Bloomberg Center for Physics and Astronomy at Homewood. Richter plans to describe the strains that the energy demands of Earth's rapidly growing populations are placing on the economy and the environment. He believes a transition to sustainable development requires humanity to shift its attention "away from carbon-based fuels toward a mix of renewable forms of energy, nuclear power and massive conservation efforts." Richter will critique renewable energy resources, describing the promise and the problems that each may bring. Richter's talk is part of the annual Brickwedde Lecture Series, funded through a grant from Milton Brickwedde and his wife, Langhorn Howard Brickwedde. Milton Brickwedde received his doctorate in
