	Carl David Anderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carl David Anderson (3 September 1905 – 11 January 1991) was a U.S. experimental physicist.
		Also in 1936, Anderson and his first graduate student, Seth Neddermeyer, discovered the muon (or 'mu-meson', as it was known for many years), a subatomic particle 207 times more massive than the electron.
		Anderson and Neddermeyer at first believed that they had seen the pion, a particle which Hideki Yukawa had postulated in his theory of the strong interaction.

		Carl improved his own chamber by using a piston expanding into a vacuum to drop the pressure very rapidly and by using a mixture of water and alcohol in the chamber.
		Anderson said that he discussed the problem of the formation and disappearance of the positron with J. Robert Oppenheimer and, in retrospect, was surprised that Oppie did not come up with this pair-production mechanism.
		Carl was not particularly interested in politics, although he did sign a petition prepared by Tommy Lauritsen of the physics department against the testing of hydrogen bombs.

		Anderson built his chamber on the top floor of the aeronautics building at Caltech, where there was adequate electric power to run the large electromagnet surrounding his chamber.
		Anderson turned him down because he felt that he lacked the necessary administrative experience, and because of concern for his mother who was in ill health.
		In retrospect Anderson's achievement was due in part to R. Millikan's intuition that the study of cosmic rays was important and that Anderson had the experimental ability to build a superior cloud chamber.

		Carl Anderson was born 3 September 1905 in New York.
		Anderson continued to study radiation and fundamental subatomic particles and in 1933 produced proof that positrons are emitted from gamma rays.
		Anderson's discover of positrons greatly contributed to developing atomic bomb technology.Due to his significant accomplishments, he was invited to direct what soon became known as the Manhattan Project.

		This discovery, announced in 1932 and later confirmed by others, validated Paul Dirac (additional info and facts about Paul Dirac) 's theoretical prediction of the existence of the positron (An elementary particle with positive charge; interaction of a positron and an electron results in annihilation).

		Anderson's research advisor was Noble Laureate Robert A Millikan, he suggested that Anderson should study cosmic rays and modify a newly invented device called a Cloud Chamber to study these rays.
		Anderson's called his particle an "oddball partricle" as it did not fit in with the current model, it was then called a muon.
		Carl Anderson won the noble Prize in 1936 with Victor Hess, who was the first to discover cosmic rays.

	Anderson, Carl David
		Anderson received his Ph.D. in 1930 from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, where he worked with physicist Robert Andrews Millikan.
		At first he thought he had found the meson, postulated by the Japanese physicist Yukawa Hideki, that binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of the atom, but the muon was found to interact only infrequently with these particles.
		Anderson spent his entire career at Caltech, joining the faculty in 1933 and serving as professor until 1976.
