At Stanford

APR 01, 1950
APS meeting reported
L. I. Schiff

The Stanford meeting of the American Physical Society last December 29 and 30 had somewhat greater interest and attendance than was originally expected for a west coast meeting at that time of year. The program consisted of seventy contributed and six invited papers, and the attendance was close to two hundred. Most of those contributing and attending came from the Pacific Coast—California, Oregon, and Washington—although several came from the mountain states and the middle west, and a few from the east. A wide variety of subjects was represented, including reports on infrared spectra, x‐rays, nuclear induction, nuclear reactions, particle accelerators, corona studies, artificial mesons, and cosmic radiation.
