Rudolf Martin Bock (born May 21, 1927 in Mannheim ) is a German experimental physicist who specializes in nuclear physics and heavy ion physics.
Bock studied physics at the University of Heidelberg , where he obtained his doctorate in 1958 with a dissertation supervised by Walther Bothe at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research. After that he was at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and from 1967 professor at the University of Marburg . In 1970 he was a founding member of the Society for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) in Darmstadt (and was one of its directors) and conducted research at the GSI's heavy ion accelerator. In 1995 he retired, but continued to work in the research program he initiated on inertial nuclear fusion using heavy ion accelerators.
Since 1979 he has been an "External Scientific Member" of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, and in 2000 he received an honorary doctorate from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . In 2011 he was elected a member of the Academia Europaea .
