Pierre Bergé (physicist)

Pierre Bergé (born September 16, 1934 in Pau , † September 4, 1997 in Paris ) was a French experimental physicist who researched chaos physics .

biography

Bergé studied physics at the École Centrale in Nantes . Afterwards he was at the nuclear research center in Saclay des Commissariat à l'énergie atomique throughout his career (from 1957) . From 1979 to 1990 he was head of the condensed matter department and from 1991 to 1994 of the renamed department for condensed matter, atoms and molecules . He was also involved in national programs to improve physics education .

Bergé dealt with chaotic dynamic systems and turbulence, including in the Rayleigh-Benard experiment , where he and other researchers discovered various intermittency transitions to chaos.

In 1974 he received the Prix Louis Ancel and in 1990 the Gentner-Kastler Prize , both awarded by the Société française de physique . In 1995 he received the Prix science et innovation donated by the CEA
