Guido Beck
Guido Beck, Austrian physicist in Latin America (Reichenberg 29 August 1903 – Rio de Janeiro 21 October 1988) Worked in Argentina (1943-51; 1963-75) and Brazil (1951-63; 1975-88) First to explain the α-anomalous scattering Demonstred that many features of photoelectric effect don’t mean evidence for the existence of photons independently of Wentzel (1927) With L. Horsley obtained a 1/v law independently of Fermi, Bethe, Perrin & Elsasser (1937) Described radioactive quantum field One of the first to discuss the concept of quasiparticle momentum (1954) Proposed a new space-time (1953) With P.S.M. Macedo a new representation of the spin variables Gave the first exact solution of Einstein’s field equations for gravitational waves as well as a demonstration that these equations don’t imply Mach’s principle (1926) Showed that the average behavior of a harmonic oscillator according to quantum mechanics is the same as that due to the radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics (1927) Developed a theory of scattering Discovered the process of pair creation in a Coulomb field independently of Oppenheimer & Plesset (1933) With K. Sitte developed a β-disintegration theory (1934) Proposed a layer model for atomic nucleus Discovered the law of conservation of lepton number (1935) before Konopinski and Mahmoud Derived a theorem about a definition of nucleon (1938) Gave an exact solution of the equations describing two fixed particles interacting with an uncharged scalar field (1939) BIBLIOGRAPHY P.
