Luis Walter Alvarez (1911–1988) was an American
experimental physicist who was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1968 for his discovery of
resonance states in particle physics using the
hydrogen bubble chamber. After receiving his PhD from the
University of Chicago in 1936, Alvarez went to work for
Ernest Lawrence at the
Radiation Laboratory at the
University of California, Berkeley. He joined
MIT Radiation Laboratory in 1940, where he contributed to a number of World War II radar projects and worked as a test pilot, before joining
Robert Oppenheimer on the
Manhattan Project in 1943. He moved back to Berkeley as a full professor after the war, going on to use his knowledge in work on improving
particle accelerators. This 1969 photograph shows Alvarez with a
magnetic monopole detector at Berkeley.Photograph credit: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory / Department of Energy
