	Bruno Rossi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rossi immediately began a series of experiments that yielded the first proof of the decay of a fundamental particle, the mesotron, now called muon, and a precise measurement of its mean life at rest.
		During the war Rossi worked first as consultant on radar development at the Radiation Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and then at Los Alamos as co-director of the Detector Group responsible for development of instrumentation for experiments that supported the development of the atomic bombs.
		In the fall of 1946 Rossi was appointed professor of physics at MIT where he established the Cosmic Ray Group to investigate the nature and origins of cosmic rays and the properties of the sub-nuclear particles produced in the interaction of cosmic rays with matter.

		Rossi served at the court of Mantua, by request of the duchess Isabella d'Este Gonzaga, from 1587 to 1628 where he entertained the royal family and their highly esteemed guests.
		Rossi's success was greatly aided by songwriter Vincent Scotto (1876-1952), who wrote his first hits and collaborated with him for many years, composing and arranging many Rossi songs.
		Rossi was a major box office attraction in the French speaking world but expanded his audience to America with a 1938 visit followed up by wartime tours across the USA and Canada.

		Using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Japanese Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics, she and her colleagues found that a neutron star they were studying was slowing down at precisely the rate required for a magnetic field of 800 trillion Gauss -- on the order of what Duncan and Thompson predicted.
		The crushing magnetic fields -- slowing the star's spin and causing the surface to periodical crack -- are thought to be the cause of a magnetar's unusual pattern of radiation.
		The prize is in honor of Professor Bruno Rossi, an authority of cosmic rays whose experimental techniques at the Los Alamos Laboratory and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave birth to the field of X-ray astronomy.

		It is surprising, therefore, that one of the newest disciplines of high-energy astrophysics, involving the study of very-high-energy gamma rays should be possible using a ground-based technique.
		The development of this discipline is recognized in the award by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) of this year's Bruno Rossi Prize.
		Developed by a group of scientists at a number of institutions, but centered at the Smithsonian Institution's Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory at Amado, Arizona, the so-called, "atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique" uses large optical cameras to detect the effects of the interaction of very-high-energy gamma rays with the Earth's atmosphere and hence determine their origin.
