Louis Rosen
Louis Rosen (born June 10, 1918 in New York City , † August 15, 2009 in Albuquerque ) was an American nuclear physicist .
Rosen received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama and a PhD in physics from Pennsylvania State University . During World War II , he worked on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory . In contrast to most of his colleagues, Rosen stayed there after the atomic bomb was built and worked at the same institute until two days before his death. He was significantly involved in the construction of the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) ( Los Alamos Neutron Science Center since 1995 ) and its linear accelerator . It was used to generate pions and when it opened (1972) it was the most powerful linear accelerator in the world (with 800 MeV). At the time, Rosen described the accelerator as an important bridge between subnuclear and nuclear physics.
