George F. Bertsch (born 5 November 1942 in Oswego, New York) is an American nuclear physicist.
[3] His research in nuclear theory began with spectroscopy and particularly giant resonances and went on to the properties of high density matter and their experimental implications.
[4]In Professor Bertsch's own words: My main research interest is the application of quantum many-particle theory to physical systems.
The particular areas of current research are nuclear structure and reactions and electronic excitations of molecules and condensed matter.
My work has been recognized by the American Physical Society, which awarded me the Bonner Prize in 2004 for my "many varied contributions to nuclear structure and reaction theory, which have guided and illuminated experiments for four decades."
