Reinhard Scherm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reinhard Hanns Scherm (born August 25, 1937 ) is a German experimental physicist who has dealt with neutron scattering and low-temperature physics.

Scherm studied physics at the Technical University of Munich and received his doctorate in 1968 from the RWTH Aachen on neutron scattering. Scherm became known for investigations at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble of dynamic properties of liquid helium 3 (a Fermi liquid) with neutron scattering. Later he was director at the ILL. In 1997 he became head of the “Physical Basics” department at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), to which he had already belonged before he worked at the ILL.

In 1997 he received the Gentner-Kastler-Prize .
