Handbook of Spallation Research

Detlef Filges studied physics at the Johannes Gutenberg Universitat, Mainz, Germany, and received his Ph.D. (Dr.rer.nat.) from the RWTH Aachen, Germany, in 1977. He worked from 1968-1972 at BBC/Krupp company on rector technology and accepted a post at the Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH in 1972. From 1985 to 2004 he was there a leading scientist and since 1994 deputy director at the Institute for Nuclear Physics. Since 1992 he teaches reactor physics and nuclear physics as well as radiation protection and safety at the Bergische Universitat, Wuppertal, Germany. From 1995 to 2004, he also gave lectures and courses as a visiting professor at the Technische Universitat Graz, Austria, on spallation physics and particle transport in matter. Professor Filges? research interests focus on medium and high energy particle physics, spallation physics, spallation sources, reactor physics and fusion technology. He is the author of more than 550 scientific papers. Frank Goldenbaum studied physics at the Bergische Universitat Wuppertal, Germany, and received his Ph.D. (Dr.rer.nat.) degree from CERN, Geneva, and Hahn-Meitner-Institute, Berlin, in 1996. After a two years CEA appointment at the Grand Accelerateur National d?Ions Lourds, France, in 1998 he was offered a post at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH, which he still holds. Since 1993 he has been actively researching in nuclear reaction mechanisms such as spallation physics, multifragmentation, fission and vaporization in the intermediate and high energy regime. PD.Dr.habil.F.Goldenbaum is an active member of several collaborations performing spallation experiments at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY (FZ-Julich, Germany) and spokesman of the international PISA (Proton Induced SpAllation) group. He is the author of more than 150 scientific papers.
