Cecil Frank Powell

1903–1969

Cecil Frank Powell (1903–1969) was a British physicist awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1950 for his development of the photographic method of studying nuclear processes and his discovery of the pion (pi-meson) using photographic emulsions exposed to cosmic rays at high altitudes. He was a professor at the University of Bristol, where he led a pioneering team in particle physics, and he was deeply committed to the social responsibility of science, advocating for peace and international cooperation during the Cold War.
