Bethe’s Legacy in Nuclear Physics: From Nuclear Structure to Nuclear Matter — •W. Henning — GSI, Wixhausen and J.W. Goethe Universität, Frankfurt

For more than seven decades Hans Bethe has made fundamental contributions to the understanding of matter that is governed by the strong - the nuclear - interaction. His seminal work in nuclear structure and nuclear matter work ranges from the understanding of the nuclear force, of few nucleon systems and their dissociation properties - and thus their relevance for nuclear reactions and nuclear astrophysics - to important aspects of many-body theory and to the properties of extended nuclear matter as, for example, found in supernovae and neutron stars. Some of the questions are still at the forefront of today’s nuclear physics research, in particular when pushing nuclei and strong interaction systems to the extremes, such as in isospin and for nuclei far off stability, for highly compressed and excited nuclear matter, and for phase transitions involving new forms of matter.
