Franz Gross (physicist)

Franz Lucretius Gross (* 9 August 1937 in Minneapolis) is an American theoretical physicist.

Gross studied at Swarthmore College (bachelor of 1958) and was promoted at Princeton University in 1963. After that he was at Cornell University, where he became an assistant professor in 1966 and an associate professor in 1969. In 1970 he became Associate Professor and in 1976 Professor at the College of William and Mary. From 1996 to 2000 he was Dean for Research (and Graduate Studies) and in 2002 he emerged there. He has also worked as a Senior Staff Theorist since 1986, and from 2000 to 2002 as Head of the Department of Theory, and later as Principal Staff Scientist, at the particle accelerator CEBAF (the later Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, JLAB).

Er war unter anderem Gastwissenschaftler an der University of California, Santa Barbara (1969), am INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) in Rom (1989), der Universität Utrecht (1990), dem Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT) der University of Washington und Gastprofessor an der Carnegie-Mellon University (1981) und der Leibniz-Universität Hannover (1983). Er ist Fellow der American Physical Society und war Fulbright und Woodrow Wilson Fellow.

The relativistic problem of minor particles in nuclear and particle physics (eg quark models of mesons or nucleons in deuteron or helium 3), the electromagnetic structure of hadrons and nuclei (elastic and inelastic electron scattering) and relativistic wave equations for bound states , He wrote a textbook on quantum field theory.
