Abstract
Good evening. I hope that all of you won ’t feel that I am inflicting another talk upon you after all the many talks which you heard earlier but it’s a real pleasure tonight to have with us a distinguished scientist who has been involved in the field of n, γ really from the very beginning. Maurice Goldhaber was born in Lemberg, Austria, some few years ago and received his Ph.D. from Cambridge in 1936. So he was present at the early very exciting research in neutron physics and the birth of the n, γ field. He left Cambridge in 1938 and spent some years at the University of Illinois, came to Brookhaven National laboratory. I can assure you he is still very active in the field of physics. I really am not qualified to list his many accomplishments. I think he is so well known to all of you that I need not do that, but I want to make one remark which I think is pertinent. At the beginning of the conference there was a statement about the maturity of the field of neutron physics and (n,γ) reactor research, and about the mature people who are in that field, but when I look at Maurice I don ’t feel that the field is all that mature. I think it is still a young field, still an exciting field, and a field in which he is still working very actively. So I want to present you this evening, Dr. Goldhaber.
