 Press Release: The 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics
Frederick Reines' and Clyde L. Cowan's first observation of neutrinos was a pioneering contribution that opened the doors to the region of "impossible" neutrinoexperiments.
Reines and Cowan realised the importance of detecting both the neutron and the positron to reduce the risk of erroneous interpretation.
Nevertheless Reines and Cowan succeeded in a feat considered to border on the impossible: They had raised the neutrino from its status as a figure of the imagination to an existence as a free particle.

Cowan is possessed of those advanced ideas and progressive principles regarding educational matters which make his name familiar throughout this part of the State.
Cowan's paternal grandfather, David Cowan, was a native of Tennessee, and a farmer by occupation; was one of Gen. Jackson's soldiers in the battle of New Orleans, and met his death by being accidentally shot during a bear hunt in 1832.
Cowan's maternal grandfather, Isaac Knight, was a native of Pennsylvania, and emigrated with his father, Abraham Knight, to Henderson, Ky., in the year 1790.

In the example we have given, of a free particle in empty space, both the position and the momentum are continuous observables.
However, if we restrict the particle to a region of space (the so-called "particle in a box" problem), the momentum observable will become discrete; it will only take on the values h/L, where L is the length of the box.

I am Lieutenant Commander George L. Cowan, United States Navy, currently stationed in Jacksonville, Florida.
However, I would like to make the authorities at Arlington aware that he is better known as Dr. Clyde L. Cowan, Jr., PhD., the co-discoverer of the neutrino sub-atomic particle in 1956.
I believe that this may provide some small token of honor that my family and associates that knew Dr. Cowan would appreciate from the fine services you and your staff at Arlington National Cemetery provide on a daily basis.

 A history of Paterson NJ
American physicist who was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize for Physics for his discovery 40 years earlier, together with his colleague Clyde L. Cowan, Jr., of the subatomic particle called the neutrino, a tiny lepton with little or no mass and a neutral charge.
The neutrino was first postulated in the 1930s by Wolfgang Pauli and later named by Enrico Fermi, but because of its minuscule size, it eluded detection for many years.
In the early 1950s Reines and Cowan set out to detect the particle, first at the Hanford Engineer Works in Richland, Wash., and then at the Savannah River laboratories in South Carolina.

In 1888 when Heinrich Hertz first transmitted radio waves over a distance of a few paces in his Karlsruhe, Germany, laboratory, no one could have predicted the vast global and interplanetary radio communication systems of today or that radio telescopes would detect quasars at distances of more than 1 0 billion light-years.
In this way, Frederick Reines and Clyde L. Cowan, Jr., detected antineutrinos in 1956 in the flood of particles coming from the Savannah River reactor.

 The Photonic Theory of Everything
The positron would be annihilated by an electron and the resulting photons could be observed.
Clyde L. Cowan and Frederick Reines first conducted this experiment successfully in 1957, but there was a problem that still remains.
There was no a-priori reason that the observed photons must have come from the set of circumstances imagined, and more recent experiments have failed to detect the required neutrons that should be created in the process.
