An experimental physicist who coauthored the 1953 measurement of the carbon-12 level associated with the Hoyle state. Magnetic analysis of outgoing alpha particles identified the residual nucleus's excitation. The paper acknowledges Fred Hoyle for identifying the astrophysical importance of that level, directly connecting a laboratory spectrum with stellar carbon production.[ref]
