  2. Who is Ed Thorndike?What does he do?What does he look like?Ask:http://www.google.com

  3. Edward L. Thorndike, psychologist 1874-1949

  4. That is not right soI try an older scanning method...

  5. 1957Graduate Student at Harvard

  6. Professor Edward Thorndike U of R

  7. What did he do?Authored and coauthored 17 papers while at Harvard!(1957 through 1961)Nucleon nucleon triple scatteringScintillations in liquid heliumTheory

  8. "p‑p Triple Scattering at 143 MeV," C.F. Hwang, T.R. Ophel, E.H. Thorndike, Richard Wilson and N.F. Ramsey, Phys. Rev. Letts. 2, 514 (1959)"p‑p Triple Scattering at 143 MeV," C. F. Hwang, T. R.

  9. The threefold embarrasment:To rotate the spin we:built a solenoid (GE)built a rectifier supply (NJ)saturable reactor (PA) controlALL FAILED!(Ed had to wait 6 months!)

  10. Ed may remember ... Others always thought the Harvard total cross sections were too high!Now the best phase shifts give the solid line and the HCL results were too low!

  11. A.B. Wesleyan 1956,M.S. Stanford 1957.Ph.D. Harvard 1960,postoc Harvard till 1961 Asst Prof U of R 1961,Professor 1972. Panofsky Prize 1999

  12. At Rochester Peter Koehler and Thorndike were the first to see nucleon nucleon bremstrahlungBut Gottschalk and Shlaer were the first to publish(I had seen nucleon-nucleus bremstrahlung in Rochester in 1955)

  13. But Ed could not get away from me easily.....We worked together on CLEO at the Cornell e+/e- collider CESR for 20 years. Others will tell that story and I will shut up.

  14. ED!!We are all the better for knowing youandwe are proud to be your friends.
