Carlson, 76, of 389 East Drive, Oak Ridge, Helen Crawford, 85, of Clinton, Katherine Jenkins Hoskins, 81, of Clinton, Sara Key, 66, of Eatonton, Ga., Dorothy Helen Peterson Stanley, 79, of Germantown, Ohio, formerly of Caryville and Oak Ridge, Truman Blair Gilmore, a resident of Harriman, Thomas A. Carlson, 76, of 389 East Drive, Oak Ridge, died Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2004, at his home of complications due to cancer. Dr. Carlson was born in Waterbury, Conn., on April 1, 1928, the son of Arthur and Jennie Carlson. He did his undergraduate work at Trinity College in Hartford. He received his Ph.D. from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 1954. In 1950 he married Effie Elizabeth Bradley, who survives him. He and his wife traveled to Oak Ridge in 1954, where Tom took a research position at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Most of his career was devoted to the study of primary processes of ionization in atoms and molecules. In the 1960s Dr. Carlson was attracted to photoelectron spectroscopy. Previously, he studied ionization by charge spectroscopy, a program he inherited from Art Snell and Frances Pleasonton. This work culminated in the characterization of electron shakeoff, vacancy cascades, and Coulombic explosion of molecular ions. In 1966-67 he was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in Sweden. During that time he was able to expand his ideas on high resolution electron spectroscopy, becoming one of the first to bring this new field to the United States. He was a pioneer in many aspects of the field, developing angle-resolved PES of gaseous molecules and high resolution Auger Spectroscopy, as well as expanding avenues into the practical applications of ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis). Dr. Carlson published 190 scientific articles, including his classic book on "Photoelectron and Auger Spectroscopy" in 1974. In 1973 he was elected Fellow in the American Physical Society. He was chosen chairman of the second Gordon Conference on Electron Spectroscopy in 1976, and he was joint editor of the Journal of Electron Spectroscopy from its inception in 1972 to 1977. In 1980 he and his old colleague Manfred Krause began a series of studies utilizing Synchrotron Radiation to expand the capabilities of Electron Spectroscopy. In 1985 Dr. Carlson was made Corporate Fellow at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Tom retired in 1988, in part to pursue his interests outside of science: music and art. He developed a type of painting he called "Chaotic." He had a dozen one-man shows of his work in Oak Ridge and surrounding areas. He has been a member of the Upstairs Gallery since 1998. Tom loved classical music since he was a boy, and was an avid collector of recordings. His collection spanned the gamut from Medieval to the Post Modern. He was a frequent lecturer on music at ORICL. He was closely involved with ORCMA, and he contributed program notes to over 75 ORCMA concerts. He gathered these notes together in a book he completed just before he died. Memorial contributions may be made to the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association, PO Box 4271, Oak Ridge, TN 37830. In keeping with his wishes, Mr. Carlson was cremated and no services will be held.
