History & Etymology
First prepared in 1961 by Albert Ghiorso, Torbjørn Sikkeland, Almon E. Larsh, and R.M. Latimer at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California by bombardment of Californium with Boron ions. Ghiorso et al. suggested the name Lawrencium and the chemical symbol Lw (later was chosen for Lr) for element #103 in honor of E.O. Lawrence, the inventor of the cyclotron and founder of the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley where so much of the transuranium research has been carried out. The name and symbol Lawrencium (Lr) was ratified by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Council meeting in Geneva during August 1997 (See "Naming the transfermium elements").
Ernest Lawrence
Ernest Orlando Lawrence (Canton, South Dakota, 8 August 1901 – Palo Alto, California, 27 August 1958), American physicist and Nobel Laureate, known for his invention, utilization, and improvement of the cyclotron atom-smasher beginning in 1929, and his later work in uranium-isotope separation for the Manhattan Project. Lawrence had a long career at the University of California, where he became a Professor of Physics. In 1939, Lawrence was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in inventing the cyclotron and developing its applications. He was the first recipient of the Sylvanus Thayer Award. The Berkeley Lab is named after him (cf. berkelium)
(note).
Enrico Fermi, and Ernest O. Lawrence, two scientist who have elements named after them: Fermium (#100) and Lawrencium (#103)
