Carl David Anderson Carl David Anderson (Carl David Anderson, 1905-1991), Swedish - American physicist, discoverer of positrons, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1936. Life Born in New York in 1905, he received a bachelor's degree in physics and engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1927 and a doctorate in 1930. From 1930 to 1933, he stayed in the school as a researcher, and in 1933 he served as an assistant professor of physics. In 1939, he served as a professor of physics. During World War II, he actively participated in the research projects of the US Defense Research Council and the Scientific Research and Development Agency. X-ray is his early research field. His doctoral dissertation is the study of the spatial distribution of photoelectrons scattered from various gases by X-ray. In 1930, under the guidance of Professor Robert Andrew Millikan, he began to study cosmic rays. In 1932, positrons were discovered. In 1933, Dr. Nedmeier obtained direct evidence that the gamma rays in THC" can generate positrons when they pass through physical matter. After 1933, Anderson continued his research work on rays and elementary particles. Most of his research and findings are published in the journal Physical Review and Science. In 1936, Anderson won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of positrons.
