Hartmuth Arenhövel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmuth Arenhövel (born December 24, 1938 in Münster , Westphalia) is a German theoretical nuclear physicist.

Arenhövel studied physics in Münster from 1959 and then at the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg. His diploma thesis was still experimental (X-ray scattering of quartz crystals), but he switched to theoretical nuclear physics at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , where he received his doctorate in 1965 under Walter Greiner on photo scattering on heavily deformed nuclei. As a post-doctoral student , he spent a year at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, DC with Michael Danos , where he began to study baryon resonances in nuclei. He completed his habilitation in 1970 in Frankfurt. From 1969 he was at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz , where he became professor for theoretical physics in 1972.

In 2003 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) .

He is particularly concerned with the theoretical description of few nucleon nuclei, especially the deuteron . For example, with the description of electron scattering or photo-disintegration of the deuteron, taking relativistic and mesonic degrees of freedom into account, such as the delta resonance excitation of nucleons and meson exchange currents. From the 1990s he treated meson generation (pion, eta-meson) at the deuteron. He works with many different experimental groups.
