Hans Grassmann

Grassmann is the author of four books and more than 250 scientific publications, and is the founder and managing director of the research company Isomorph srl.

For his laurea thesis, he developed a detection method for high energy photons using a scintillating crystal (CsI(Tl)) calorimeter with photodiode readout.

By analyzing the relative difference in the production of W+ and W− particles, one can substantially reduce the effects of systematic uncertainties in the experimental device.

[5] After the top quark discovery, Grassmann worked on a connection between the classic information theory of Claude Shannon, Gregory Chaitin and Andrey Kolmogorov et al. and physics.

[6] From work done by Leó Szilárd, Rolf Landauer and Charles H. Bennett, there is a connection between physics and information theory.

Grassmann made use of existing and established concepts, such as message, amount of information or complexity, but set them in a new mathematical framework.

In 'October 2008, the Linear mirror received its first award from the Italian Physical Society, which honors Alessandro Prest, an employee of the Isomorph, for the presentation of the project.

[16] In April 2011 Hans Grassmann has received the "Nuclear-Free Future Award, with the motivation that the Linear mirror can be able to contribute to the replacement of nuclear power.
