Lawrencium Co-Discoverers, Element 103, 1961

The co-discoverers of lawrencium (Lr, element 103), HILAC building, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), 1961. Left to right: Torbjorn Sikkeland, Albert Ghiorso, Almon E. "Bud" Larsh,and Robert M. Latimer. The first important work on element 103 was carried out at Berkeley by the nuclear-physics team of Albert Ghiorso, Torbjorn Sikkeland, Almon Larsh, Robert M. Latimer, and their co-workers on February 14, 1961. The first atoms of lawrencium were reportedly produced by bombarding a three-milligram target consisting of three isotopes of the element californium with boron-10 and boron-11 nuclei from the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator (HILAC).
