Autorenporträt
A.G. Wright has worked with photomultipliers for forty years. He was born in Durban, South Africa, where he attended the University of Natal as a physics undergraduate and did postgraduate research on atmospherics generated by lightning discharges before the birth of 'health and safety.' He left South Africa in 1968 with his wife to experience life in London while studying for a Ph.D. at the University of London. Wright's doctoral thesis in cosmic rays, now known as astrophysics, concerned verifying cross-sections for electromagnetic interactions of muons underground, in particular pair production. The greatest challenge, however, concerned operating a scintillator stack unattended in a disused railway tunnel. He convinced the Electron Tube Division of EMI to employ him as an applications engineer drawing on his newly acquired knowledge of photomultipliers. This initiated his accumulation of expertise and experience with photomultipliers over the past several decades.
