Gerald Oster

HARTMUT KALLMANNN was seventy years old on 5 Feb. As director of the Radiation and Solid State Laboratory of the physics department of New York University at Washington Square, where he has been since 1949, he is the dynamic leader of an active group of 40 physicists concerned with interactions of radiation with matter. His career spans the whole period of modern physics starting with his doctoral thesis under Max Planck.
