Amand Fäßler
Amand Fäßler , mostly quoted by Faessler in English, (born April 26, 1938 in Gengenbach ) is a German theoretical physicist who mainly deals with nuclear physics.
Life
Fäßler studied physics at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg , where he received his doctorate in 1963 under Hans Marschall . He was then a post-doc at Florida State University in Tallahassee in 1963 and 1965 . In 1965 he was assistant professor at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and from 1967 professor at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster and director of the institute for theoretical physics there. From 1971 he set up a theoretical working group at the Jülich Nuclear Research Center (he headed the Institute for Nuclear Physics there) while simultaneously teaching at the University of Bonn . From 1979 he was a professor in Tübingen and director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics there. Today he is Professor Emeritus in Tübingen. In 1977 and 1981 he was visiting professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook , 1983 at Vanderbilt University and 1987 at the University of Melbourne .

In the 1960s, Fäßler dealt with core models and, in part with Walter Greiner (also a doctoral student from Marschall), examined collective excitations in deformed cores (including a rotation-vibration model), and then among other things with high-spin states of cores (with an explanation of the Backbending in the 1970s), heavy ion collisions (e.g. quark-gluon plasma , super-dense matter with applications to equations of state for matter in neutron stars , in supernova explosions), effects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in nuclear physics (especially for the shape of the nucleon interaction potential), nuclear physics many-particle problem (e.g. numerical variation methods or computer codes monster, vampire), neutrino physics ( supersymmetrical models for the neutrino mixtures and masses), neutrino-free double beta decay (NLDB) and the determination of the electron-neutrino mass in electron capture Holmium isotope 163 Ho. For the In Interpretation of the results of experiments on the (previously unobserved) NLDB requires both core physics calculations and comparative calculations with GUT models (according to Fäßler's working group, the fact that cores with a possible NLDB have a service life of over 10 26 years have upper limits for the electron neutrino mass of 0.6 eV ). He investigated a very broad spectrum of problems in theoretical nuclear physics (his list of publications counted over 1200 papers up to 2016).
He is editor of the journal Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics and was director of several summer schools in theoretical physics at the Ettore Majorana Center in Erice , Sicily.
