University of California committee files 3 1970-1996

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series consists of agendas, correspondence, draft and final versions of reports, meeting minutes, news clippings, and publications. The vast majority of the material documents Reines' twenty years of service as a member, and from 1985 through 1988 as chair, of the University of California's Scientific and Academic Advisory Committee (SAAC). This committee conducts oversight activities and advises the President of the University of California on the administration of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This series is especially rich in material concerning the national debate over the Comprehensive Test Ban treaty to ban nuclear weapons testing, the University of California's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), the frequent unrest within the university concerning the propriety of its administration of national weapons laboratories and the potential conflicts between weapons research and academic freedom, and the federal government's laser programs of the 1980s (the Star Wars defense).

Correspondence 6 1952-2001 and undated

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series is comprised chiefly of correspondence, but also includes a variety of materials sent to Reines along with correspondence, including preprints, photographs, brochures, conference materials, and publications. The series represents the correspondence file maintained for Reines by office staff at UCI and, as such, is a particularly rich source of information on all of the activities and research projects in which he was engaged during his career.

Arrangement

This series is arranged chronologically except for several files of correspondence with physicists that Reines maintained separately from the chronological files.

Processing note

The original chronological arrangement of the series was maintained during processing. Exceptions to this arrangement are several files of correspondence with physicists that Reines maintained separately from the chronological files and that are filed at the end of the series. Included is correspondence with John Wheeler, who served as a mentor and sounding board for Reines throughout his career. Researchers will also find correspondence in almost all other series.

General Physical Description note: no content

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series includes correspondence, proposals, publications, photographs and slides, notes and notebooks, technical drawings, and reports relating to experiments conducted by Reines and members of his neutrino group throughout his career. The series includes information on Reines' well-known experiments verifying the existence of the neutrino and exploring its properties, which utilized neutrinos produced by nuclear reactors. The primary sites for these experiments were Los Alamos National Laboratory (New Mexico), Hanford (Washington), and the Savannah River Plant (South Carolina). Also included are materials relating to experiments that did not have to do with verification of the neutrino, such as the Eniwetok atoll nuclear tests, photoelectric hygrometer, nuclear emulsions, beta decay and double beta decay, conservation of baryon number, charge conservation and the stability of the electron, gravitational constant, tactile vision experiments, and ultrasound and brainwave experiments. Most of these experiments took place at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Case Institute of Technology, or UCI.

Subseries 10.1. Case-Witwatersrand-Irvine (CWI) 1952-1989

Scope and Contents note

This subseries includes correspondence, telex printouts, proposals, publications, lectures and transparencies, data files, photographs and slides, notes and notebooks, technical drawings, and reports relating to Reines' first major collaboration--initiated while he was at Case Institute of Technology and continued after his move to UCI--with the University of Witwatersrand near Johannesburg, South Africa. The purpose of the collaboration was to pursue underground detection of neutrinos produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere using a large-area liquid scintillation detector located in a gold mine approximately 2 miles below the Earth's surface near Johannesburg on the property of the East Rand Proprietary Mine (ERPM). This collaboration resulted in 1965 in the first detection of neutrinos produced in the atmosphere and was the clear antecedent of several later massive underground experiments that dramatically increased scientific knowledge about the properties of neutrinos.

Subseries 10.2. Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven (IMB) 1960-1995

Scope and Contents note

This subseries includes correspondence, research memoranda, proposals, publications, lectures and transparencies, photographs, notes and notebooks, and operations manuals relating to the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven collaboration, which grew out of Reines' growing interest in baryon number violation in the 1970s following the advent of the Grand Unified Theories. This interest led to the establishment of a very large collaborative effort to search for proton decay. The site for this experiment was an 8,000-metric-ton water Čerenkov detector in a salt mine near Cleveland, Ohio, a location at which Reines and colleagues from Case had conducted experiments during the 1960s. By the time the collaborative work was completed in 1991 this effort had set the lowest limits on proton lifetime at the time, obtained preliminary evidence for neutrino oscillation, and made the serendipitous discovery of a neutrino burst from Supernova 1987A. Observations from the IMB detector helped to confirm the role of neutrinos in stellar collapse and set in motion the field of neutrino astronomy.

Subseries 10.3. Deep Underwater Muon and Neutrino Detector (DUMAND) 1957-1994

Scope and Contents note

This subseries includes correspondence, research memoranda, proposals, publications, lectures and transparencies, photographs, notes and notebooks, and operations manuals relating to a collaboration involving UCI, University of Hawaii and many other academic institutions. The DUMAND Collaboration designed and tested a series of prototype high-energy neutrino astronomy detectors for the open ocean floor in the Hawaiian Islands that were primarily intended to utilize the ocean to eliminate as much as possible cosmic ray interference in the study of the neutrino. Reines was instrumental in providing long-term guidance for the endeavor and shepherding it through long years of initial groping to sort out the research potential. The DUMAND collaboration was guided by a steering committee, of which Reines was a member, which solicited and reviewed research proposals from collaborating institutions and hosted numerous workshops on issues and instrumentation relating to the collaboration's research goals.

Scope and Contents note

This subseries includes correspondence, meeting materials, publications and transparencies, proposals, progress reports, and slides documenting a collaborative effort arising out of Reines' UC Irvine physics group to situate a detector to study solar neutrinos in an Arkansas lake. The GRANDE proposal arose from Reines' frustration with the slow rate of progress being made with DUMAND and owes much of its origins to work done in both the IMB and DUMAND collaborations. GRANDE was never actualized and the majority of the materials in this subseries document the conceptualization and planning effort, including detailed responses to issues raised by reviewers of GRANDE funding proposals.

Scope and Contents note

This subseries includes correspondence, meeting materials, publications, clippings, presentations, proposals, and financial materials documenting a proposed collaboration organized by Reines' UC Irvine colleague Henry Chen to construct a heavy water neutrino detector deep underground in a nickel mine near Sudbury, Ontario. The detector would act as a solar neutrino observatory that would facilitate the investigation of astrophysical processes. Reines reluctantly agreed to act temporarily as principal investigator following Chen's untimely death in 1987, but within a year reached the decision to withdraw UCI from the collaboration. The bulk of the material in this subseries documents preliminary development of the collaboration, site selection, and organization of the startup of the research.
