Ulrich Mosel

Ulrich Hermann Bernd Mosel (born February 8, 1943 in Hanover ) is a German theoretical physicist .

Ulrich Mosel studied mathematics and physics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main from 1962 to 1967 and graduated in 1967 with the degree of physicist. He then worked for Walter Greiner, where he was awarded a Dr. phil. nat. at the JWG University is doing her doctorate with the dissertation "Investigation of the collective potential energy surface of atomic nuclei : superheavy elements ". At that time he was working on the theoretical description of the structure of heavy and super-heavy atomic nuclei.

In early 1970 he went to the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory . From there he moved to the University of Washington in Seattle in 1971 . During this time he primarily worked on a theoretical description of nuclear fission . In 1972 he was appointed full professor for theoretical physics at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen . In 1980/81 and 1993/94 he was dean of the physics faculty . In April 2011 he retired.

He was visiting professor at Argonne National Laboratory , the State University of New York , Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Michigan State University , Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of Washington. From 1982 to 1988 he was on the scientific advisory board of the GSI in Darmstadt (as well as on the program advisory board of the GSI from 1997 to 2001) and from 1989 to 1992 in that of the Hahn-Meitner-Institut in Berlin. From 1995 to 1998 he headed the COZY program advisory board at Forschungszentrum Jülich , and from 1997 to 2000 he chaired the advisory committee for nuclear and hadron physics of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research . 9 professors and 47 doctors of physics emerged from his working group.

Work areas during this time were nuclear structure physics, heavy ion physics (low-energy heavy ion reactions and relativistic heavy ion reactions), nuclear molecules, hadron physics and the investigation of the interaction of photons , electrons and neutrinos with atomic nuclei.

Among the work on nuclear structure physics, the early work on nuclear fission of heavy actinides is particularly noteworthy, in which a transition to symmetrical fission was predicted when approaching the core Fm 264. The first self-consistent calculation of the gas-liquid phase transition of nuclear matter in 1976 also falls into this area of work . This was followed by work on the structure of high-spin states in atomic nuclei. This was followed by a longer phase of calculations mainly on particle production in relativistic heavy ion collisions and ( together with Volker Metag ) the prediction of the existence of resonance matter in such reactions. The codes of quantum kinetic transport theory developed for this purpose were then used by Mosel and co-workers from the mid-1990s to investigate electron and photon-induced reactions at the atomic nucleus. Special emphasis was placed on the investigation of observable consequences of in-medium changes in the structure of hadrons. From around 2005 these calculations were then also expanded to include the description of neutrino nuclear reactions. This ultimately resulted in the GiBUU neutrino event generator.

Ulrich Mosel is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) (1987) and an honorary citizen of the US state of Tennessee (1970).
