Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett (1897-1974),British physicist,in 1933. Blackett was the first person to photograph nuclear collisions involving one element changing into another (in this case nitrogen to oxygen),a process known as atomic transmutation. With Occhialini,he adapted a Wilson cloud chamber,a device that allows the path of ions formed by ionizing radiation to be seen,to study cosmic rays from space. The Geiger counters he added to the chamber triggered a camera when they detected cosmic rays. With this device he took the first photograph of a positron. For this work he shared the 1948 Nobel Prize for physics. He was made a baron in 1965 | |
