  Melvin Schwartz Summary
Melvin Schwartz's research and experimentation in the weak force of the four fundamental forces of nature resulted in the proof of the existence of the neutrino, a particle of zero-rest mass, and the Nobel Prize-winning discovery and definition of the two existing types of neutrinos, the electron neutrino, and the muon neutrino.
Schwartz was born in New York City on November 2, 1932, to Harry and Hannah Shulman Schwartz.
Schwartz is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and is a fellow of the American Physical Society, which awarded him the Hughes Prize in 1964.

 Melvin Schwartz dies at 73; won Nobel Prize in physics - Health & Science - International Herald Tribune
Schwartz suggested that neutrinos might be easier to study if it was possible to create a beam of them in a laboratory.
Schwartz oversaw the building of four detectors at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, known as RHIC (and pronounced rick), that is currently running at Brookhaven.
Schwartz, who had left physics because groups of dozens of researchers were too large for his taste, was now managing collaborations of 300 to 400 scientists, Zajc said.

 Melvin Schwartz, Nobel Prize winner in physics, dead at 73
Melvin Schwartz, a Nobel Prize winner and member of the Stanford physics faculty from 1966 to 1984 who also founded a Silicon Valley company, died Aug. 28 at a Twin Falls, Idaho, nursing home after struggling with Parkinson's disease and hepatitis C. He was 73.
In 1988, Schwartz shared the Nobel Prize with Leon Lederman and Jack Steinberger "for the neutrino beam method and the demonstration of the doublet structure of the leptons through the discovery of the muon neutrino."
In 1966, as a new linear accelerator was being completed, Schwartz joined the Stanford faculty and undertook two major research efforts: investigating the charge asymmetry in the decay of the long-lived neutral kaon and producing and detecting relativistic hydrogen-like atoms made up of a pion and a muon.

 The Scientist : Brookhaven's Schwartz: `An Artist Of Physics'
Melvin Schwartz has never been one to let the rules stand in the way of an eager scientist with a good idea.
In the early 1970s, when Schwartz was a professor at Stanford, a committee at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center [SLAC] turned down one of his experiments three times before allowing him to run a truncated version.
The scaled-down experiment Schwartz finally conducted was too small to produce irrefutable evidence of the new particles he expected to see.

Schwartz and O'Connor write in Exploring A Changing World, for example, that since World War II, the newly independent Arab nations "have worked to establish stable governments."
