Physicists at the University of Göttingen, 1945-1955
Abstract
With a focus on the question of continuity versus change, we present an overview of many aspects of academic physics in one local context for the immediate postwar years. Based on new archival findings, we discuss academic staffing, research topics, course offerings, student statistics, and two complementary biographical case studies of physicists at this former international center for experimental and theoretical physics.
