Manfred Böhm (physicist)

Manfred Böhm (born November 27, 1940 in Memmingen ; † July 5, 2013 ) was a German physicist .

Böhm studied physics at the University of Würzburg and the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and received his doctorate in 1966 at the University of Würzburg ( on the quantization of hydrodynamic equations ). Then he went to DESY , where he turned to elementary particle physics. In 1971 he completed his habilitation in Würzburg. After a research stay at CERN , he became Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Würzburg in 1977. In 2005 he retired. He last lived in Estenfeld .

Böhm later dealt mainly with precision predictions in the theory of the electroweak interaction in the standard model . He wrote one of the first German-language textbooks on modern elementary particle theory and calibration theories within the framework of the standard model.

He is not to be confused with the physicist Manfred Böhm (* 1942 in Nuremberg) at the University of Gießen , who also published a book on Lie groups and Lie algebras in physics as well as on symmetries in solids .
