Peter E. Hodgson (27 November 1928, London – 8 December 2008) was a British physicist, who also wrote about the philosophy of physics and social issues, and was an active Roman Catholic.
[1] He began experimental research under George Paget Thomson, and was one of the first to identify the K meson and its decay into three pions, giving the most accurate, as of that time, estimate of its mass.
Hodgson did nuclear physics under Harrie Massey at University College London, studying the scattering of neutrons by alpha particles.
Hodgson worked closely with the Templeton Foundation, the Newman Society, and other organizations to promote the integration of science and religion.
In later years, he became the president of the science secretariat of Pax Romana, whose bulletin he edited and to which he contributed several articles and book reviews.
