Vivió 1897 - 1967. John Cockcroft ganó el Premio Nobel de Física de 1951 con su colega Ernest Walton por producir la primera desintegración nuclear artificial de la historia. Cockcroft & Walton diseñó y construyó el primer acelerador de partículas de "alta energía". Como un beneficio secundario notable, su experimento demostró que la ...
John Douglas Cockcroft (27 de mayo de 1897-18 de septiembre de 1967) fue un físico británico. Recibió el premio Nobel de Física por ser el primero en desintegrar un núcleo atómico , y fue primordial en el desarrollo de la energía nuclear .
In April 1932 John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton split the atom for the first time, at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge in the UK. Only weeks earlier, James Chadwick, also in Cambridge, discovered the neutron. That same year, far away in California, Carl Anderson discovered the positron while working on cosmic rays. So 1932 was a veritable ...

Waltonem v roce 1951 Nobelovu cenu za fyziku. Nobelova cena byla udělena za objevné práce přeměny atomových jader uměle urychlenými jadernými ...
Cockcroft, who was both a student and Fellow at St John’s, is perhaps best known for the pioneering 1932 experiment in which he and his fellow researcher, Ernest Walton, transformed the nucleus of a lithium atom by bombarding it with high-energy particles. This feat, which was somewhat inaccurately dubbed the “splitting” of the atom, provided the basis for nuclear fission.
