Training and work
Max Scheer studied physics in Würzburg, doctorate in 1953 ( investigation of the degree of polarization in the spectrum of the X-ray bremsstrahlung of a thin anticathode ), in 1959 he completed his habilitation ( investigations into the generation of X-ray bremsstrahlung in a betatron ). For three decades, 1962–1994, he held the chair for experimental physics at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg. The focus of research was X-rays.
Scheer developed a “performance-based lottery” (called by him the “Roman fountain” or “cascade model”), in which Numerus clausus study places are awarded in a mixture of high school graduation and lottery procedures. He was a member of the university senate for seven years.
