Burton Richter Story
My story about Burt is...
When I fist became DG of KEK , Burt just took over the DG position of SLAC
after Panofsky.
Burt and I worked together towards the construction of B-factory
occasionally competing and occasionally collaborating.
Burt and I shared a common passion on the linear collider and worked
closely together.
When I told Burt about the long base line neutrino beam, he showed
strong interest and he offered some SLAC dipole magnets to be used in KEK.
It was very helpful.
Burt and I worked together in many committees including ICFA, US-Japan
Committee for High Energy Physics, Subcommittee of UNESCO on large
facility, FULC for ILC, etc..
There are many, many photos but I attach just one ....
