| Abstract | Special quantized numbers have played an important role in 20th-century physics, and nowhere more than at Caltech ' s Kellogg Radiation Laboratory where a recent conference centered on the importance of 1981 and 50, 70 , and O. The year 1981 is important because it marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the laboratory in 1931 by Charles Lauritsen . The significance of 70 is that 1981 also marked the 70th birthday of William A. Fowler who is now Institute Professor of Physics but who began as a Kellogg graduate student with Lauritsen in 1933. Since then , Fowler has carved out a distinguished career, both for himself and for the laboratory , in nuclear physics and astrophysics. And the meeting focused on 0 because of the dedication of a new tandem accelerator facility , around which many of the future research efforts of the lab will be built. When the Kellogg gang get together, it's a party, and this two-day-long fete consisted of one historical session that covered Kellogg's past, two reviews of the present status of nuclear physics and astrophysics, and looking toward the future the accelerator dedication. The meeting wound up with a half-session of presentations by members of the current Kellogg staff sketching the directions of coming research. Robert Bacher, professor of physics emeritus, was chairman of the historical session, which opened with a talk by Charles Holbrow, professor |
