Robert Hofstadter (February 5, 1915 – November 17, 1990) was an American physicist. He was the joint winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize in Physics (together with Rudolf Mössbauer) "for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and for his consequent discoveries concerning the structure of nucleons".
Robert Hofstadter was a professor of physics at Stanford University who studied the scattering of electrons from atomic nuclei. He discovered the charge and magnetic moment distributions in the proton and neutron, and received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1961.
17 de nov. de 1990 · Robert Hofstadter was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and his discoveries concerning the structure of the nucleons. He developed apparatus for examining how charges and magnetic moments were distributed in nuclei and proved that they had internal structures.
Robert Hofstadter was an American scientist who was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1961 for his investigations of protons and neutrons, which revealed the hitherto unknown structure of these particles.
Since 1957 emphasis in the research program has been placed on making more precise studies of the nucleon form factors. He received the Nobel Prize in 1961. Hofstadter was elected to the National Academy of Sciences (U.S.A.) in 1958 and was named California Scientist of the Year in 1959.
