Ruprecht Machleidt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruprecht Machleidt (born December 18, 1943 in Kiel ) is a German-American theoretical nuclear physicist .

Machleidt studied physics at the University of Bonn with a diploma in 1971 and a doctorate in 1973. As a post-doctoral student he carried out research at the University of Bonn until 1975 and was at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) in 1976/77 . From 1978 to 1983 he was a research assistant in Bonn. From 1983 to 1985 he was visiting scientist at TRIUMF and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and from 1986 to 1988 at Los Alamos National Laboratory (at LAMPF), while at the same time being Adjunct Associate Professor at UCLA . In 1988 he became an associate professor and in 1991 a professor at the University of Idaho .

He is known as one of the developers of the Bonn potential for describing the nucleon-nucleon interaction on the basis of meson exchange. He also dealt with nuclear matter taking relativistic effects and meson degrees of freedom into account, as well as with relativistic few-particle systems in nuclear physics.

In 2000 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .
