	Alsos: Cockcroft and the Atom
		This biography of John Cockcroft focuses on his years working as a nuclear physicist, leader in the field of nuclear energy, and nuclear policy advisor to to the British government.
		Cockcroft became a Nobel laureate with Ernest Walton for their groundbreaking experiment which proved Einstein’s theory of mass and energy and led to the pursuit of fission as a source of energy.
		Cockcroft’s later years were largely consumed by his leadership of the Harwell research institute and work on the development of uranium power plants, before he returned to Cambridge to be a college Master in 1959.

	Prize Presentation - Physics 1951
		Cockcroft had emphasized that the conditions are particularly favourable if hydrogen nuclei are used as projectiles, and that an accelerating voltage of only a few hundred thousand volts should suffice to give observable transmutations of light elements.
		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.
