Ebbe Kjeld Rasmussen

Ebbe Kjeld Rasmussen (born April 12, 1901 , † October 9, 1959 ) was a Danish experimental atomic physicist and nuclear physicist .

Rasmussen studied physics at the University of Copenhagen , where he graduated in 1926 (cand. Mag.). Then he researched until 1929 at the Technical University of Denmark in particular on medical applications. In 1928 he became an employee of Niels Bohr at his institute . He dealt mainly with spectroscopy such as the hyperfine structure , from which he determined the magnetic moments of various atomic nuclei . He worked with Hans Kopfermann from Germany (on the core moments of cobalt , vanadium , scandium). In 1932 he received a doctorate for his work on the spectrum of noble gases . In 1942 he became a professor at the Veterinary and Agricultural School, but continued to work at the Bohr Institute. In 1956 he became a professor at the University of Copenhagen. There he built up the Hans Christian Ørsted Institute of the university.

In 1939 he became secretary of the Society for the Expansion of Natural Sciences (Naturlaerens Udbredelse Selskabet). In 1951 he became a member of the Danish Academy of Sciences and shortly before his death in 1959 its secretary.

He was married to Julie Ingeborg Mortensen since 1925.
