“Crunching numbers”: Computers and physical research in the AEC laboratories (1998)

unapi

Description “The earliest computational work in the field of high-energy particle physics occurred in these laboratories, and physicists familiar with this work transferred the technology to multiprogram laboratories of the AEC, universities, and the physics community at large. The computer exemplifies processes of technology transfer in modern big science.”
