Hans Marschall (physicist)

Hans Marschall (born September 13, 1913 in Otterbach (West Palatinate) , † February 20, 1986 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German nuclear physicist.

Marschall graduated as an electrical engineer from the HTL Kaiserslautern in 1938 and then worked at Telefunken in Berlin, studying at the University of Berlin , where he received his doctorate in 1946 under Siegfried Flügge . He worked on its computational methods in quantum mechanics (first published in 1947). He followed Flügge as his assistant to Göttingen and later to the University of Marburg . After his habilitation in 1950 he taught in Marburg, from 1954 at the University of Bonn (with Wolfgang Paul ) and in 1955 at the TH Darmstadt as a diet lecturer. From 1956 he was at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg , where he became an adjunct professor in 1957 and a full professor in 1961 at the newly created chair for theoretical physics. He turned down calls to Darmstadt (1959), Hanover and Würzburg. In Freiburg he worked with the experimental physicist Theodor Schmidt and founded a school of theoretical physics.

As an industrial physicist, he dealt with electrical and magnetic lenses (theory of the mass spectrograph). As a nuclear physicist, he dealt with muonic atoms and the conclusions that can be drawn from them about the nuclear structure (the muon has a much higher mass than the electron and is therefore closer to the nucleus). He also dealt with the charge distribution in the core from experiments with electron scattering and developed the rotational-vibration model of the nuclei.

His doctoral students include Walter Greiner , Peter Sauer and Amand Fäßler .
