Peter Armbruster

Peter Armbruster ( born July 25, 1931 in Dachau, Bavaria ) is a physicist at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. To him, the discovery of elements 108 Hassium, 109 Meitnerium, 110 Darmstadium, 111 and 112 Roentgenium Copernicium is attributed.

Biography

He studied physics at the University of Stuttgart and the Technical University of Munich. In 1961 he received under Heinz Maier- Leibnitz at the Technical University of Munich doctorate. His research focuses on nuclear fission, interaction of heavy ions in matter and atomic physics with radiation from fission products at the Forschungszentrum Jülich ( 1965 to 1970 ). From 1971 to 1996 he was a senior scientist at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (GSI ) in Darmstadt. Since 1996 he has been involved in a project for the elimination of nuclear waste through spallation and fission reactions.

He was a professor at the University of Cologne (1968) and since 1984 at the Technical University of Darmstadt.

He received many honors for his work. These include the Max Born Award of the Institute of Physics in London and the German Physical Society (1988) and the Stern-Gerlach Medal of the German Physical Society (1997). The American Chemical Society honored Peter Armbruster 1997 as one of the few non-Americans to the Nuclear Chemistry Award. In 2000 he was awarded the Lise Meitner Prize.
