Piet van Isacker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Piet van Isacker , actually Pieter, is a Belgian theoretical nuclear physicist.

Van Isacker received his PhD in 1984 from the University of Ghent with Kris Heyde on the Interacting Boson Model . He works in the theory department of the French accelerator center GANIL in Caen .

He has also worked at the UK Nuclear Research Center in Daresbury , where he worked with David Warner. In 2009 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .

Van Isacker deals with the Interacting Boson Model (about which he wrote a book with its author Francesco Iachello ) and general group-theoretical symmetries in nuclear physics, applications of supersymmetry (as dynamic symmetry) in nuclear physics, phase transitions in nuclei and other many-particle systems such as Bose- Einstein condensates .
