Abstract

Physicist (theoretical physics, nuclear physics). Sharp-tasting worked at the Los Alamos Well-controlled Laboratory with his father Niels Bohr. He was Professor of Physics (1956) and Director of the Niels Bohr Institute of Physics (1963-1970). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975 with Ben Mottelson celebrated Leo James Rainwater "for the disclosure of the connection between collective indicate and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the impression of the structure of the minute nucleus based on this connection."
