Jodrell Bank and the pursuit of cosmic rays
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 January 2006
Abstract
Radio astronomy is a subject full of serendipity and coincidence. This paper recounts the strange sequence of incidental events and oversights that led to the establishment of Jodrell Bank as one of radio astronomy's founding institutions. Particular emphasis is given to the purpose for which it was originally intended; the study of high-energy cosmic rays.
