Mössbauer man—Stan makes his mark in physics

Setting

Facts

Physical limitations make Mössbauer-based gamma beam technology impractical.

Papers make clear that the Brookhaven experiment with Rustad was also the subject of Stan's Ph.D.…

He acted as a gadfly to spark the formation of needed resources like conferences and publications

Stan was honored at the 4th Nassau Mössbauer Symposium, held in Garden City, NY in January 2006.

Date	Publication	Author(s)	Title	Comments
December 1974	Journal de Physique Colloques	S. L. Ruby	MÖSSBAUER EXPERIMENTS WITHOUT CONVENTIONAL SOURCES	Stan suggests use of synchrotron radiation for Mössbauer work
1977	AIP Conference Proceedings Number 38	Gilbert J. Perlow - Editor	Workshop on New Directions in Mössbauer Spectroscopy (Argonne 1977)	Proceedings of important Mössbauer conference at Argonne in 1977 includes two papers by Stan and his part in a panel discussion on uses of synchrotron radiation; also a retrospective talk on the Mössbauer Effect by Harry Lipkin.
May 19, 2003	Stan Ruby Notebooks	Stanley Ruby	FrauenLetter.nb	Stan writes in 2003 to Hans Frauenfelder, a colleague from the old Mössbauer days, to try to interest him in working together on an experiment to test Stan's idea of a Vacuum Drag Force, which he thinks may explain the so-called Pioneer Anomaly. Frauenfelder's reply is not available.
2014		Chiang Tsai-Chien and Wong Tang-Fong, translator	Madame Wu Chien-Shiung The First Lady of Physics Research	Originally published in Chinese in 1996. Stan Ruby was interviewed and is cited as a source. Wu's involvement in the Rustad-Ruby affair is documented.
