| DONALD H. PERKINS is Emeritus Professor of Physics in Oxford University. After receiving his first degree and Ph.D. at Imperial College, University of London, he joined Bristol University as G.A. Wills Research Associate, later becoming Lecturer and then Reader in physics. He spent the year 1955-6 and part of 1961 at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California, and in 1966 became Professor of Elementary Particle Physics at Oxford... << 查看详细 |
