	William Alfred Fowler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Alfred "Willy" Fowler (August 9, 1911 – March 14, 1995) was an American astrophysicist.
		He should not be confused with the British astronomer Alfred Fowler.
		Fowler won the Henry Norris Russell Lectureship of the American Astronomical Society in 1963, the Eddington Medal in 1978, the Bruce Medal in 1979, and the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1983 for his theoretical and experimental studies of the nuclear reactions of importance in the formation of the chemical elements in the universe.

	Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory - Biography of Vetlesen Prize Winner - William Alfred Fowler
		William A. Fowler, who shared the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics for his research into the creation of chemical elements inside stars, was born in 1911 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Lima, Ohio.
		In 1957, Fowler coauthored with Fred Hoyle and Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge the seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars." In it, they showed that all of the elements from carbon to uranium could be produced by nuclear processes in stars, starting only with the hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang.
		Fowler's research was of two kinds: theoretical studies to calculate fusion rates for a wide variety of elements, and experiments with accelerators to guide the theoretical calculations.

	Caltech Press Release, 3/14/1995, William Fowler
		Willy Fowler, as he was known world-wide, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised from the age of two in Lima, Ohio.
		During his career in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, which spanned more that 60 years, Fowler was primarily concerned with studies of fusion reactions--how the nuclei of lighter chemical elements fuse to create the heavier ones in a process known as nucleosynthesis.
		As an adult, Willy Fowler sought out passenger trains still pulled by steam locomotives, and in 1973 he rode the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Khabarovsk to Moscow because, among other reasons, the train was powered by steam for almost 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles).

		Fowler was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and obtained his bachelor's degree in physics from Ohio State University 1933.
		In their classic paper 1957, Fowler, Hoyle, and the Burbages described how, in a star like the Sun, two hydrogen nuclei, or protons, combine to create the next heavier element, helium, thus generating energy.
		Fowler and Hoyle published an even more complete exposition of stellar nuclear synthesis in 1965 and completed the work two years later with R Wagoner.
