Brookhaven Celebrates Maurice Goldhaber's 90 Years

October 2001 page 25

CREDIT:BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY
Three generations of Goldhaber physicists, with Maurice front and center, posed for this family portrait during a pause in the festivities at Brookhaven National Laboratory on a day in July dedicated to the celebration of Maurice Goldhaber's 90th birthday. Formal talks about physics past and present were interspersed with spontaneous reminiscences by celebrants who had come from far and wide.

Goldhaber's career spans the decades from James Chadwick's laboratory at Cambridge in the early 1930s to the latest solar neutrino results from the Super Kamiokande collaboration, of which he is an active member. He was Brookhaven's director from 1961 to 1973.

Flanking Maurice are his brother Gerson (right, University of California, Berkeley) and his sister's son Benjamin Eichhorn (professor of statistics at Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey). Behind them are (right and left) Maurice's sons Alfred (SUNY Stony Brook) and Michael, who has a PhD in particle theory but writes mostly about public policy. Between the brothers is Alfred's son David, who recently joined the physics faculty at Stanford University.
