Author Information
"Helmut Rauch completed his PhD in 1965 and become full Professor in 1972. He spent one sabbatical year at KFA Juelich/Germany and worked regularly at the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble/France. His scientific interests are: neutron physics, quantum optics, foundations of quantum mechanics, and reactor physics. He invented together with U. Bonse and W. Treimer the perfect crystal neutron interferometer, and has published more than 350 papers in refereed journals. He was Director of the Atomic Institute in Vienna, President of the Austrian Science Foundation and twice President of the Austrian Physical Society. He is member of the Austrian and German Physical Society, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the German Academy of Sciences ""Leopoldina"" in Halle. Honours include the Erwin Schrödinger Award of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the Ludwig Wittgenstein Award of the Austrian Research Association. Samuel Werner received his AB degree at Dartmouth College in 1959 and his PhD degree at the University of Michigan in 1965. He was a staff scientist in the Physics Department of the Scientific Laboratory of the Ford Motor Company for 10 years. He became Professor of Physics at the University of Missouri in 1975. Upon his retirement from Missouri in 2000 he moved to Gaithersburg, MD to become a guest researcher at NIST. His scientific interests are: neutron scattering, neutron physics, spin density waves (CDW) and charge density waves (SDW) in solids. He received the President's Award for Outstanding Research at the University of Missouri in 1980, the Outstanding Alumnus Award of the Nuclear Engineering Department at the University of Michigan in 1980, and an Exceptional Service Award of the Neutron Scattering Society of America in 2012. He was the first President of the NSSA. He is a Fellow of the NSSA, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science."
