High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Raymond Davis, Jr. (October 14, 1914 – May 31, 2006) was an American chemist, physicist, and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate. Upon his discharge from the army in 1946, Davis went to work at Monsanto Company's Mound Laboratory, in Miamisburg, Ohio, doing applied radiochemistry of interest to the United States Atomic Energy Commission. In 1948, he joined Brookhaven National Laboratory, which was dedicated to finding peaceful uses for nuclear power. Davis reports that he was asked "to find something interesting to work on," and dedicated his career to the study of neutrinos, particles which had been predicted to explain the process of beta decay, but whose separate existence had not been confirmed. Davis investigated detecting neutrinos by inverse beta decay, the process by which a neutrino brings enough energy to a nucleus to make certain stable isotopes into radioactive ones.
