Weird Science: Scientific Refugees and the Montreal Laboratory
Abstract
Canada's Montreal-based atomic energy research during the Second World War was dominated by European refugees. The Montreal Laboratory existed from 1942 to 1946. The first eight laboratory staff arrived in Montreal at the end of 1942. These were Bertrand Goldschmidt and Pierre Auger from France, George Placzek from Czechoslovakia, S. G. Bauer from Switzerland, Friedrich Paneth and Hans von Halban from Austria, and R. E. Newell and F. R. Jackson from Britain.
