Aage Bohr
Danish physicist (–)
Aage Niels Bohr (Danish:[ˈɔːwəˈne̝lsˈpoɐ̯ˀ]ⓘ; 19 June – 8 September ) was a Danish nuclear physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in with Ben Roy Mottelson and James Rainwater "for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection".[1] His father was Niels Bohr.
Starting from Rainwater's concept of an irregular-shaped liquid drop model of the nucleus, Bohr and Mottelson developed a detailed theory that was in close agreement with experiments.
Since his father, Niels Bohr, had won the prize in , he and his father are one of the six pairs of fathers and sons who have both won the Nobel Prize and one of the four pairs who have both won the Nobel Prize in Physics.[2][3]
