14 mimeographed typescript lectures on 144 leaves, rectos only; diagrams throughout the text, some pencilled notes, contents a little toned; brown pressboard binder, housed in a custom brown cloth folding case, later manuscript title to upper cover, some sticker residue, edges a little rubbed, corners bumped, very good condition. A rare set of mimeographed lecture notes from an experimental physics course connected with Berkeley's Radiation Laboratory, with chapters by three Nobel Prize winners. Mimeographed lecture notes of this kind were made by students for themselves and their colleagues, and exist in very small numbers. We have located only two auction records for this set, the present one, sold in 2018, and a copy at Christie's in 2002. Berkeley's '290' physics courses are 'graduate level courses that feature a weekly seminar on physics topics', 'many of which are open to the public', generally meaning the research community (Berkeley website). The present lectures are all labelled '290(f)', what was then a course in experimental physics connected with the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory. Now known as the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, this research centre was established in 1931 by Ernest Lawrence and centred around his development of the cyclotron, a new and more powerful type of particle accelerator for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize. The laboratory has remained a leader in physics research up to the present day, and was responsible for numerous twentieth century breakthroughs, including electronic enrichment of uranium for the Manhattan Project, the discovery of the transuranic elements and the anti-proton, and measurement of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Taking place around 1950 (none of the reference sources listed in the text have publication dates past 1949), the present course begins with relatively basic concepts in electrical engineering necessary for anyone doing hands-on experimental work at the Radiation Laboratory and proceeds to linear accelerators, the cyclotron, and beta ray spectrographs. Of the fourteen lectures, three were presented by Nobel Prize winners: Chapter 7, Ionization: Emilio Segré (1905-1989) discovered the antiproton and the elements technetium and astatine. An Italian Jew, he was made stateless by the Mussolini government in 1938 while on a visit to Berkeley, and was offered a position at the Radiation Laboratory. Between 1943 and 1946 he worked at Los Alamos, after which he returned to Berkeley until his retirement in 1972. Chapter 10, General Accelerator Considerations: Edwin McMillan (1907-1991) was, with Glenn Seaborg, the first to produce a transuranic element, neptunium. He joined the Radiation Laboratory in 1933 and during the Second World War worked on microwave radar and the Manhattan Project. When hostilities ended he returned to Berkeley, co-developed the synchrotron, and became director of the laboratory after Lawrence's death in 1958. Chapter 12, Linear Accelerators: Louis Alvarez (1911-1988) was a pioneer who made fundamental discoveries in physics through his development of the hydrogen bubble chamber. He joined the laboratory in 1936 and worked with the experimental team headed by Robert Oppenheimer. During the war he contributed significantly to radar research, joined the Manhattan Project, and then returned to Berkeley. The full contents are as follows: 1.

Broadside. Zustand: Very Good+. First Printing. First Printing. Broadside. Poster silkscreened on the back of a used sheet of perforated computer printout paper, a typical canvas for the products created by participants of the Political Poster Workshop at UC Berkeley. The sprocket edge strips are intact, which is uncommon. "In the first few days of May of 1970, college protests spread across the US following the invasion of Cambodia, and on May 4 the Ohio National Guard opened fire on campus protesters, killing four Kent State students and wounded nine others. Shortly thereafter, in response to both the invasion of Cambodia and the Kent State massacre, UC Berkeley students formed the Berkeley Political Poster Workshop and set about mass producing hundreds of silkscreen prints, primarily printing on recycled paper and cardboard. Under the guidance and leadership of Malaquías Montoya, a major figure in the Chicano Art Movement, autonomous poster workshops emerged at colleges around the Bay Area, but especially at San Francisco State and UC Berkeley. These workshops, organized around young Chicano artists and staffed by many untrained student volunteers, developed on and off campuses in the late-1960s and early-1970s. In May of 1970, these workshops at Berkeley exploded and coalesced in the College of Environmental Design (in Wurster Hall) where hundreds of volunteers printed thousands of posters on recycled paper, based on over 250 designs" (Janet Turner Print Museum). The image is a co-opted symbol of the Black Panther Movement/Black Power fist in the air, utilized by people's political movements since the 1960s. Uncommon generally, very scarce in the exceptional condition found here. Minor spotting near the left edge with some ink smudging near the lower right edge. Small closed tear at sprocket hole along top edge, intact. Silkscreen broadside on back of used computer dot matrix printer paper. 38x28cm.
