Edwin McMillan

	Edwin Mattison McMillan, September 18, 1907—September 8, 1991 \| By J. David Jackson and W. K. H. Panofsky \| ...
		McMillan also understood clearly the focusing effect of the radial fall-off of the magnetic field and the magnitude of the deviation from the synchronicity condition in the cyclotron produced by that radial fall-off, added to the relativistic mass increase.
		McMillan recognized that when particles are accelerated in a radiofrequency field not at the crest of the radiofrequency amplitude but on the side of the waveform, the particles would be locked stably at a certain phase.
		McMillan himself participated in the mapping of the neutron beam produced by high-energy deuterons on internal targets and was an advisory participant in innumerable experiments.

		McMillan, a physicist who retired in 1973 as head of the University of California's Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, last year was awarded the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest award for scientific achievement.
		McMillan also was a pioneer in the theory of phase stability, a concept that made giant modern linear accelerators possible.
		McMillan was also a major contributor to the development of the cyclotron, or atom smasher, used in the study of subatomic physics.

	McMillan, Edwin Mattison
		McMillan was educated at the California Institute of Technology and at Princeton University, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1932.
		McMillan also made a major advance in the development of Ernest Lawrence's cyclotron, which in the early 1940s had run up against its theoretical limit.
		McMillan was chairman of the National Academy of Sciences from 1968 to 1971.

		1940: Edwin M. McMillan and the transuranium triumph
		But in 1940, more than a century and a half after Uranium was first discovered, UC Berkeley physicist Edwin M. McMillan, working with Philip Abelson at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, boosted the number of known elements to 93.
		After the death of Lawrence in 1958, McMillan was appointed director of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley and Livermore.
