Bernard Peters (born Bernhard Pietrowski in 1910 in Posen, Germany - February 2, 1993 in Copenhagen) was a nuclear physicist, with a specialty in cosmic radiation.
Life
Towards the end of the First World War, his father, pharmacology researcher and physician, sent him to the Black Forest to a farmer so he could obtain food in exchange for manual labor. In 1942, under the direction of Robert Oppenheimer, Peters completed his doctorate in physics.
In 1954, during the J. Robert Oppenheimer security hearing, the he was accused of being a communist sympathizer. Peters then could not find work in the United States. He left the country to Mumbai, India, where he continued to study cosmic rays for eight years. This section is empty, insufficiently detailed or incomplete. Your help is welcome! For four decades, he directed several studies on cosmiques rays.
Peters died February 2, 1993 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
