		Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton was born on October 6th, 1903 in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, the son of a Methodist minister from Tipperary.
		The new accelerator was a significant development in 20th-century physics as it provided a tool for the study of the nucleus and its particles, but it was Walton's first use of the new machine that was to bring the brilliant young Irish researcher to the fore.
		However, Walton inspired an entire generation of students with his teaching, and a great many of his students went on to successful scientific careers at home and abroad.

	Ernest Walton Biography / Biography of Ernest Walton World of Physics Biography
		Ernest Walton was an Irish experimental physicist who gained renown for achieving, with physicist John D. Cockcroft, the first artificial disintegration of an atomic nucleus, without the use of radioactive elements.
		Their breakthrough was accomplished by artificially accelerating a beam of protons (basic particles of the nuclei of atoms that carry a positive charge of electricity) and aiming it at a target of lithium, one of the lightest known metals.
		The resultant emission of alpha particles, that is, positively charged particles given off by certain radioactive substances, indicated not only that some protons had succeeded in penetrating the nuclei of the lithium atoms but also that they had somehow combined with the lithium atoms and had been transformed into something new.

		After studying at the Methodist College, Belfast, and graduating in mathematics and experimental science from Trinity College, Dublin (1926), Walton went in 1927 to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was to work with Cockcroft in the Cavendish Laboratory under Lord Rutherford until 1934.
		Both failed, mainly because the available power sources could not generate the necessary energies, but his methods were later developed and used in the betatron and the linear accelerator.
		After gaining his Ph.D. at Cambridge, Walton returned to Trinity College, Dublin, in 1934, where he remained as a fellow for the next 40 years and a fellow emeritus thereafter.

	Walton Family Crest
		The surname Walton belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
		Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Daniel Walton who settled in Virginia in 1635; John Walton settled in Virginia in 1623; Thomas Walton settled in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1775; William Walton settled in the Barbados in 1678.
		In the Walton coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.

		This used an arrangement of condensers to produce a beam of protons and was completed in 1932.
		Walton was born in County Waterford and studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and 1927-34 at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England.
		Using the proton beam to bombard lithium, Walton and Cockcroft observed the production of large quantities of alpha particles, showing that the lithium nuclei had captured the protons and formed unstable beryllium nuclei which instantaneously decayed into two alpha particles travelling in opposite directions.

		During that groundbreaking period, English nuclear physicist Sir John Douglas Cockcroft and Irish physicist Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton became the first to split an atom using artificially accelerated particles.
		Their work was also the first experimental confirmation of Einstein’s famous equation of mass and energy, and it hinted at the vast amount of energy available in the atom.
		In a 1932 article in Scientific American, corresponding editor Waldemar Kaempffert discussed Cockcroft and Walton’s discoveries and presented an early view of the prospects for atomic energy.
