Peter Armbruster

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Armbruster (born July 25, 1931 in Dachau , Bavaria) is a German physicist at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. The discovery of the elements 108 Hassium , 109 Meitnerium , 110 Darmstadtium , 111 Roentgenium and 112 Copernicium is attributed to him.

biography

He studied physics at the University of Stuttgart and the Technical University of Munich . In 1961 he received his doctorate from the Technical University of Munich under Heinz Maier-Leibnitz . His main research interests are nuclear fission , the interaction of heavy ions in matter and atomic physics with rays from fission products at Forschungszentrum Jülich (1965 to 1970). From 1971 to 1996 he was a senior scientist at the Society for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) in Darmstadt. Since 1996 he has been involved in a project to dispose of nuclear waste through spallation and nuclear fission reactions .

He was a professor at the University of Cologne (1968) and since 1984 at the Technical University of Darmstadt .

He received many awards for his work. These include the Max Born Prize of the Institute of Physics in London and the German Physical Society (1988) and the Stern-Gerlach Medal of the German Physical Society (1997). In 1997, the American Chemical Society honored Peter Armbruster as one of the few non-Americans with the Nuclear Chemistry Award. In 2000 he received the Lise Meitner Prize .
