Description
Summary:An obituary for Juerg Xaver Saladin, a pioneer in nuclear structure studies and a professor emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh, who died on May 29, 2014, is presented. Born on Jul 25, 1929 in Solothurn, Switzerland, Saladin pursued his under- graduate and doctoral studies at ETH Zurich, from which he received BS and PhD degrees in nuclear physics in 1954 and 1959, respectively. His doctoral thesis on nuclear scattering and polarization was completed under the direction of Pierre Marmier. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Saladin continued to pursue his interest in polarization measurements in transfer reactions.
