James Van Allen

James van Allen is a physicist associated with the University of Iowa. The Van Allen radiation belts were named after him, following the 1958 satellite missions (Explorer I and Explorer III) in which Van Allen had argued that a Geiger counter should be used to detect charged particles. He was awarded the 1989 Crafoord Prize for his work.
