Erwin Bodenstedt

Erwin Bodenstedt (born January 25, 1926 in Cologne ; † March 2002 ) was a German nuclear physicist who mainly dealt experimentally with nuclear spectroscopy.

Bodenstedt received his doctorate in 1952 under Wolfgang Riezler at the University of Bonn , was then an assistant in Bonn until 1954 (and during this time under Wolfgang Paul involved in the design of the 500 MeV electron synchrotron), in 1955 at Cornell University to Robert R. Wilson , where a 1.5 GeV electron synchrotron was built. After a short time at the Siemens research laboratories in Erlangen, he went to Walter Jentschke at the University of Hamburg in 1956 , where he turned to experimental nuclear physics and completed his habilitation in 1960 (magnetic moments of excited nuclei). In 1962 he became a professor at the University of Bonn at the Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics, where he stayed until his retirement in 1991, temporarily as director of the institute.

He had been married since 1956 and had three children.
