C.F. Powell (1903-1969)
Powell was a prominent English scientist noted for his techniques and discoveries in particle physics.
Powell was born in December 1903 in England. His parents were poor and they determined to give their children a good education to increase their opportunities for a better life. In 1921 Powell won a scholarship of one of the colleges at Cambridge which he graduated in 1925 with first-class honours in science. He started his scientific career at the Cavendish laboratory headed by Ernest Rutherford. After gaining his scientific degree at Cambridge in 1928 Powell accepted a position at the new Physics laboratory in the University of Bristol. Powell spent the rest of his career there advancing to professor in 1948 and director of the laboratory in 1964.
In 1947 Powell’s Bristol group identified a new particle in the cosmic radiation. The discovery solved a complicated scientific problem and helped to open a new era of particle physics.
In 1950 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his development of the photographic method.
