Extractions: Feedback Richter scale , measure of the magnitude of seismic waves from an earthquake earthquake, trembling or shaking movement of the earth's surface. 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. Click the link for more information.

Among his romances are Hesperus (1795, tr. 1865); Leben des Quintus Fixlein (1796; tr. by Carlyle, Quintus Fixlein, 1827), a charming prose idyl about a village schoolteacher; and Titan Levana (1807, tr. 1848), a treatise on education. Richter's writings were extremely popular in his lifetime, and were admired for their idealism and warm portrayals of simple life, as well as for their humor and sentimentality. See study by D. Berger (1973).

Extractions: 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

Burton Richter Testimony PROFESSOR burton richter, DIRECTOR. STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR CENTER. May 8, 1996.INTRODUCTION. The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a http://www.house.gov/science/burton_richter.htm
Extractions: 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
Extractions: 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?"

Extractions: 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

Extractions: Director, Stanford Linear Accelerator will be addressing the Vancouver Institute on March 23, 2002 at 8:15 p.m., Lecture Hall No. 2 in the Woodward Instructional Resources Centre , University of British Columbia. Energy in the 21st Century A native of New York City, Dr. Richter obtained both his undergraduate and graduate education at MIT. Dr. Richter is one of the original designers of colliding beam accelerators, the principal devices used in high-energy particle physics research in the world today. He became Director of Stanford's Linear Accelerator in 1984, overseeing the completion of SLAC's linear collider in 1987. Dr. Richter has continued to teach in the Physics Department at Stanford while pursuing his active research program and "long love affair with the electron." He has published over 300 scientific articles and was the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976 for his discovery of the charmed quark, one of nature's missing building blocks.
