Lawrence and His Laboratory "d0e85"

Note on the Notes

Sources are cited in the notes in a short form, which should identify most of them to anyone familiar with the literature and the abbreviations that follow. Full bibliographical citations to all articles and books—though not to editorials in journals or to interventions at scientific meetings—appear in the Bibliography. All references to unpublished materials include the archive code except for the Ernest O. Lawrence Papers, which are identified by the form (x/y), where x refers to box and y to folder.
