Marcel Froissart

After secondary study at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Marcel Froissart matriculated in 1953 at the École polytechnique, where he graduated in 1955.

[7] After completing only one semester of a four-semester technical curriculum, he was sent in civil cooperation with the French Navy to Algeria[8] (during the Algerian War, which lasted from 1954 to 1962).

[7] He held a temporary appointment from 1960 to 1961 at the University of California, Berkeley,[2] where he worked on S-matrix theory under the leadership of Geoffrey Chew[10][11][5] and collaborated with, among others, Marvin "Murph" Goldberger and Kenneth M.

[13] In 1964 Froissart received the Prix Paul Langevin awarded by the Société Française de Physique (SFP) .

A longer-term task was to reduce the size of the laboratory, while maintaining significant activity on the international scene.

[19][20] He was one of the main developers of the Groupement des scientifiques pour l'information sur l'énergie nucléaire (GSIEN, Association of Scientists for Information on Nuclear Energy).
