Randolf Pohl

Randolf Pohl (born December 30, 1970 ) is a German physicist . He became known for his research that has implications for fundamental questions such as the correct charge radius of the proton .

Career

Pohl studied physics at the Technical University of Munich and received his diploma there in 1997 . He then went to the ETH Zurich , where he completed his dissertation prepared and 2001 on the Discovery of the long-lived 2S state in muonic hydrogen doctorate . This was followed by a postdoc stay at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen until 2005 . He then worked at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching in the laser spectroscopy department of Theodor W. Hänsch . Since 2011 he has headed a research group that deals with exotic atoms , in particular with the precision measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen . Pohl is married and has three children.
