Bonner Prize “for his contribution to and continued development of the electrostatic accelerator, a device that has immeasurably advanced nuclear physics.” The occasion was the banquet ceremony of the American Physical Society meeting in Mexico City, held jointly with the Mexican and Canadian Physical Societies.
