Physics on Father's Day

Happy Fathers Day everybody!!!
In honor of Fathers' Day, here are a few physicists who had kids that went on to become scientists themselves. I know there are far more examples than I've listed here. Feel free to add your favorites to the comments below!

William Fairbank and William Fairbank Jr.

William Fairbank Sr. performed one of the first two experiments that verified the existence of quantized magnetic flux[6]. He was also one of the architects of the Gravity Probe B experiment. His son, William Fairbank Jr. is a physicists at Colorado State University who works on the detection of single atoms via photon burst mass spectroscopy (PBMS)[7].

Another one of William Fairbank's sons, Richard Fairbank, founded Capital One Bank which provided the last bit of funding so that work on Gravity Probe B could be completed after NASA quit funding it in 2008.

Sydney and Persis Drell

Sydney Drell proposed the Drell-Yan hadron scattering process in 1970. The process was later experimentally verified at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron and is important in experimentally determining the parton distribution function of hadrons[8].

Sydney's daughter Persis Drell is a physicist at Stanford who has served as the director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. She is currently working on science with the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope and technical developments and science with hard x-ray free electron lasers[2].

William Henry and William Lawrence Bragg

This father and son team of physicists discovered that x-rays are reflected from crystals at specific angles determined by the wavelength of the x-ray and the inter-atomic distances in the crystal. This phenomenon came to be known as Bragg diffraction.

Werner and Jochen Heisenberg

Werner Heisenberg[9] was one of the original architects of modern day quantum mechanics. Specifically he was largely responsible for the matrix interpretation of quantum mechanics.

His son, Jochen Heisenberg, is a professor emeritus at University of New Hampshire where he works on the computational modelling of large nuclei[3].

A Personal Note
My dad and grandfather influenced my decision to go into engineering and physics. Dad was in the Army Signal Corps before I was born. Grandpa Pop worked as a welder at White Sands Missile Range and as an electronics instructor at Texas State University. Talking with them about electronics and computers and rockets as a kid constantly kept science at the front of my imagination. Happy Father's Day Dad!

The Valentine's Day Magnetic Monopole

There's an assymetry to the form of the two Maxwell's equations shown in picture 1. While the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the electric charge density at a given point, the divergence of the magnetic field is equal to zero. This is typically explained in the following way. While we know that electrons, the fundamental electric charge carriers exist, evidence seems to indicate that magnetic monopoles, the particles that would carry magnetic 'charge', either don't exist, or, the energies required to create them are so high that they are exceedingly rare. That doesn't stop us from looking for them though! Keeping with the theme of Fairbank[1] and his academic progeny over the semester break, today's post is about the discovery of a magnetic monopole candidate event by one of the Fairbank's graduate students, Blas Cabrera[2]. Cabrera was utilizing a loop type of magnetic monopole detector. Its operation is in concept very sim

Cool Math Tricks: Deriving the Divergence, (Del or Nabla) into New (Cylindrical) Coordinate Systems

Now available as a Kindle ebook for 99 cents ! Get a spiffy ebook, and fund more physics The following is a pretty lengthy procedure, but converting the divergence, (nabla, del) operator between coordinate systems comes up pretty often. While there are tables for converting between common coordinate systems , there seem to be fewer explanations of the procedure for deriving the conversion, so here goes! What do we actually want? To convert the Cartesian nabla to the nabla for another coordinate system, say… cylindrical coordinates. What we’ll need: 1. The Cartesian Nabla: 2. A set of equations relating the Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical coordinates: 3. A set of equations relating the Cartesian basis vectors to the basis vectors of the new coordinate system: How to do it: Use the chain rule for differentiation to convert the derivatives with respect to the Cartesian variables to derivatives with respect to the cylindrical variables. The chain

More Cowbell! Record Production using Google Forms and Charts

First, the what : This article shows how to embed a new Google Form into any web page. To demonstrate ths, a chart and form that allow blog readers to control the recording levels of each instrument in Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" is used. HTML code from the Google version of the form included on this page is shown and the parts that need to be modified are highlighted. Next, the why : Google recently released an e-mail form feature that allows users of Google Documents to create an e-mail a form that automatically places each user's input into an associated spreadsheet. As it turns out, with a little bit of work, the forms that are created by Google Docs can be embedded into any web page. Now, The Goods: Click on the instrument you want turned up, click the submit button and then refresh the page. Through the magic of Google Forms as soon as you click on submit and refresh this web page, the data chart will update immediately. Turn up the:
