André Martin (physicist)
André Martin (born September 1929 ) is a theoretical elementary particle physicist.
Martin was at CERN from 1959 and from 1964 a permanent member of the theory department. In 1994 he officially retired there, but remained scientifically active at CERN.
In 1965 he developed a theoretical justification for an upper limit ( Froissart limit, also Froissart-Martin limit) for the growth of the total cross section when two particles are scattered with energy. Later he dealt with quarkonium systems and mathematical properties of the Schrödinger equation used for this system .
In 2010 he received the Pomeranschuk Medal (for his work on the analytical properties of the scattering matrix in the 1960s) and in 2007 the Gian Carlo Wick Gold Medal from the World Federation of Scientists. He has been a corresponding member of the Académie des sciences since 1980 and a full member of the Academia Europaea since 2000 .
