    Extractions: I was interested in reading this autobiography to get a better understanding of this quiet and overly polite brilliant physicist. Wigner was one of a group of four brilliant Hungarian physicists who emigrated to the United States before World War II. The others were Leo Szilard, John von Neumann and Edward Teller. All except von Neumann played important roles in the U.S. atomic bomb project. All were of Jewish heritage and all were in the U.S. because of Hitler. Wigner took his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering in Berlin to prepare himself to work in a large leather tannery in Budapest in which his father was a senior manager. He did in fact return and work in the factory for a time. Although the biography is written in the first person, it was compiled by Szanton from about 30 tape recorded interviews in 1988. Szanton did an excellent job of arranging the material in a pleasant manner. In Madison he fell in love and married a graduate student in physics, Amelia Frank. Unfortunately a few months after the marriage Amelia developed heart trouble and died less than eight months after the wedding. In his grief he remembered a poem he had learned in Hungary which translated as:

A tudománytörténet úgy tartja, hogy 1939-ben Szilárd Leóval és Teller Edével együtt meggyõzték Einsteint az atomkutatások fontosságáról, aki megírta azt a levelet az elnöknek, és ennek köszönhetõen indult el az atombomba-fejlesztés. A háború alatt Fermivel együtt dolgozott az elsõ láncreakció megvalósításán. Wigner már a kvantummechanika elsõ viharos fejlõdési szakaszában csoportelméleti módszerekkel tanulmányozta a spektrumok szerkezetét, és vizsgálta a szimmetriaviszonyokat. 1936-ban Breittel közösen kidolgozta a magreakciók diszperziós elméletét és 1952-ben pedig a paritásmegmaradás. 1963-ban megkapta a fizikai

Wigner Reactor Physicist Award by the American Nuclear Society (ANS). Considered the highest international award in the field, it was established by ANS in 1990 to recognize outstanding reactor physicists for their contributions. Turinsky joined the NC State faculty in 1980. He has received many awards for his contributions to nuclear engineering, including the E.O. Lawrence Award in Nuclear Technology from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2002. His research centers on developing improved nuclear reactor core analysis and design software tools. He received his B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Rhode Island in1966; his M.S.E. and Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan in 1967 and 1970, respectively; and his M.B.A. in business administration from the University of Pittsburgh in 1979.

    http://www.europhysicsnews.com/full/20/article5/article5.html
    
    Extractions: W hen I looked into the 1992, November issue of Fizikai Szemle in which Wigner was celebrated on his 90 th birthday, I saw the list of his well over 300 publications in all branches of physics, in chemistry and in pure mathematics. My first reaction was to withdraw from this attempt of doing him justice in a single talk. On some reflection I thought of a way out. The early years Wigner's life coincided with the 20 th century. He was almost of the same "quantum age" as Heisenberg and Pauli, however, these two were in the center of the Copenhagen School and from 1925 on were among the main architects of quantum mechanics (QM). By contrast 1925 was the year when Wigner graduated as chemical engineer in Berlin. He must have felt way behind these pioneers, yet, he soon became one of the leaders of the new discipline. Moreover we shall see that his being rooted in chemistry sheds light on some of the subtler aspects of QM. Michael Polanyi was among Wigner's mentors in chemistry. Their joint work on molecular reaction chemistry is one of the standard papers in the field. After obtaining his engineering degree Wigner returned to Budapest to work in the tanning factory where his father was director. He felt frustrated, but Polanyi came to the rescue with an invitation to Berlin to an assistantship in x-ray crystallography. Wigner resumed attendance at the physics colloquium and felt great attraction to QM. The factory had been a dead-end, but the chemical training and his sensitization to mathematics in school were positive influences, since QM was basically a novel confluence of physics, mathematics and chemistry.

It was a collection of people from Berlin to London to Zürich to Pisa , though not quite yet to New York or Chicago . The first physicists in this new generation Werner Heisenberg Erwin Schrödinger , and Paul Dirac , to name three created quantum mechanics . Quantum mechanics was a dazzling new world, which threw open dozens of fundamental physical questions. A new set of men (and a few women) came along behind them, to answer the first questions and pose others, often more complex. Wigner was in this second set of physicists. He posed and answered some of the most profound questions of 20th-century physics. He laid the foundation for the theory of symmetries in quantum mechanics. In the late , he extended his research into atomic nuclei Between and , this generation of physicists helped to remake the world again. This time it was a far greater, more public world they remade: one of armies, peoples, ideologies. They did it first by seeing that an

    Extractions: INFORMATION BULLETIN FOR PARTICIPANTS 1. INSTITUTES AND LECTURE HALLS The "Ettore Majorana" Foundation and International Centre for Scientific Culture is named after an outstanding Italian physicist. Born in Sicily in 1906, Ettore Majorana's breadth of vision and exceptional contributions to theoretical nuclear physics moved Enrico Fermi to the following comment: "There are many categories of scientists, people of second and third rank, who do their best, but do not go very far. There are also people of first-class rank, who make great discoveries, fundamental to the development of science. But then there are the geniuses, like Galilei and Newton. Well, Ettore Majorana was one of them". Embracing 110 Schools, covering all branches of Science, the Centre is situated in the old pre-mediaeval city of Erice where three restored monasteries (one of which was the residence of the Viceroy of Sicily during the XIV and XV Centuries) provide an appropriate setting for high intellectual endeavour. These ancient buildings are now named after great Scientists and strong supporters of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre. The San Francesco Monastery (former Viceroys residence) is now the Eugene P. Wigner Institute with the "Enrico Fermi" Lecture Hall.

    Extractions: PRINCETON, N.J. Eugene P. Wigner, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who played a prominent role in the development of the atomic bomb and nuclear energy, has died of pneumonia. He was 92. Mr. Wigner died Sunday at the Medical Center of Princeton. A professor emeritus in mathematical physics at Princeton University, Mr. Wigner won the Noble Prize in physics in 1963 for his insight into quantum mechanics. Mr. Wigner used group theory to organize the quantum energy levels of electrons in atoms. Together with fellow Hungarian expatriate Leo Szilard, Mr. Wigner persuaded Albert Einstein in 1939 to write to President Roosevelt about the potential to produce vast amounts of energy from uranium. Mr. Wigner took a leave of absence from Princeton in 1942 to join a team at the University of Chicago working on the secret project to design reactors to produce the first plutonium for nuclear weapons. He retired from active status on the Princeton faculty in 1971.

It is shown that the cross section is, apart from a constant, in the neighborhood of the threshold the same function of energy, no matter what the reaction mechanism is, as long as the long-range interaction of the product particles is the same. The same must hold, because of the principle of detailed balance, for the back reaction, i.e., the reaction between particles with very low relative velocities. In this case, the cross section, as function of the energy, depends only on the long-range interaction of the reacting particles. The energy dependence of the cross section is determined for three types of interactions, viz . no interaction, Coulomb repulsion and Coulomb attraction. The rule for a 1 /
