摘要
Noel Corngold's 70th birthday gives us the opportunity to assess his contributions to nuclear science from his first paper in 1956 up to the present time. It would be presumptuous for me to attempt such a wide ranging review, but certainly I feel confident in discussing Corngold's work on reactor theory spanning the period 1956 - 1975. The purpose of this paper is therefore twofold: firstly to review the papers on resonance absorption, lattice physics and neutron thermalisation and secondly, to show how this work has influenced our thinking on these subjects, indeed has set a gold standard for reactor theory research which has rarely been bettered. Some remarks are also made about the work of the graduate students who have benefited from Corngold's particular style of supervision.
