Burton Richter (born 1931),American physicist and director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) since 1984. In the 1960s,Richter worked on the Stanford elecron storage rings,the first acc- elerator to collide subatomic particles together. In 1970-72,he directed the building of the SPEAR electron-positron collider at SLAC. And in 1974,he & colleagues working with the Mark I detector at SPEAR discovered the J/psi,the first particle found containing a charm quark. Richter shared the 1976 Nobel prize for physics for this work with Sam Ting,whose team at the Brookhaven National Laboratory also discovered the particle | |
