		Ernest Walton was one of the legendary pioneers of the twentieth century who made 1932 the annus mirabilis of experimental nuclear physics.
		Walton was renowned for the clarity of his lectures and his remarkable practical demonstrations that breathed life into Physics - a subject that often suffers from the manner in which it is taught.
		Walton's life experiences linked the remarkable advances in scientific understanding in the early decades of the twentieth century with a comparable leap forward towards the end of the century.

		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.

		Physicist Ernest Walton (1903-1995) shared the achievement of the first artificial disintegration of an atomic nucleus without the use of radioactive elements.
		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.

		Ernest Walton at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, sought a way into the nucleus through a prediction of quantum mechanics.
		To penetrate the nucleus, Cockcroft and Walton built a voltage multiplier that used an intricate stack of capacitors connected by rectifying diodes as switches.
		Particles with a positive electric charge are drawn into the first cylindrical electrode by a negative potential; by the time they emerge from the tube the potential has switched to positive, which propels them away from the electrode with a second boost.

		Walton was alone in the laboratory, ready to do the first experiment, using his hydrogen nuclei to bombard a target made of the light metal lithium.
		Walton ran to Rutherford's office to tell him the news, and Rutherford happily spent the rest of the day serving as Walton's assistant, checking the result and tidying up the details.
		Walton returned to Dublin in 1934 and spent the rest of his life there peacefully as a professor of physics.

		Born in the North of England 100 years ago, John Cockcroft became a world figure in 1932, the year in which he and his Irish partner, Ernest Walton, split the atomic nucleus at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University.
		It lies also in the way he and Walton opened up a new scientific area by devising an accelerator as a means of investigating nuclear physics.
		Ernest Rutherford, then Professor of Physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, had in 1919 made the first nuclear transformations, using particles emitted by natural radioactive nuclei.

	Prize Presentation - Physics 1951
		At the beginning of this century, the study of the naturally radioactive substances had shown that their property of emitting radiation is connected with spontaneous transmutations of their atoms.
		The analysis made by Cockcroft and Walton of the energy relations in a transmutation is of particular interest, because a verification was provided by this analysis for Einstein's law concerning the equivalence of mass and energy.
		The investigations of Cockcroft and Walton disclosed a new and fertile domain of research, consisting of the study of nuclear transmutations of various types.

		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.

	Books: True or false: Ernest Rutherford split the atom? by Rebecca Priestley \| New Zealand Listener
		In 1927, Ernest Walton, a young Irish teetotal Methodist, arrived at Rutherford’s Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University.
		Rutherford encouraged Walton to work with John Cockcroft to use electrical means to see inside the atom’s nucleus.
		Presumably because, like Walton, he’s a Dubliner, and because it would detract from the drama of his story, Cathcart doesn’t mention that Rutherford had split the atom in 1917 by using an alpha particle to knock a proton out of a nitrogen atom.

		Cathcart begins with the 1909 experiment that led Ernest Rutherford to the nuclear model of the atom, in which almost all of the atom's mass is concentrated in the middle; the nucleus is the tiny "fly" in the cavernous "cathedral" of the atom.
		Cathcart focuses on the Cavendish Lab at the University of Cambridge and in particular on John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton.
		Cockcroft and Walton built a high-voltage particle accelerator to give protons enough energy to penetrate the electrical barrier of the nucleus and serve as a nuclear probe.
