CONF: Stueckelberg Symposium

[Flavia Padovani]

International Symposium for the centenary of E.C.G. Stueckelberg's birth
 
 
The History and Philosophy of Science Dept. in Geneva is organising an
international Symposium for the centenary of Ernst C.G. Stueckelberg's birth.
This Symposium will take place on 2nd and 3rd December 2005, at the Physics
Department, Geneva University.

Born in 1905,  Ernst C. G. Stueckelberg was Professor of theoretical physics at
the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne in the years 1930-1970. He was one of
the most eminent Swiss physicists of the 2Oth century. His breakthroughs,  from
his causal S-matrix to the renormalization group, have influenced the
development of contemporary theoretical physics. The aim of our Symposium is to
examine Stueckelberg's scientific work in its historical context and assess its
significance. It will gather some of the best experts - physicists and
historians - of Stueckelberg's thought. Their contributions will be completed
by accounts of those who have known Stueckelberg as colleagues or students, in
Geneva and Lausanne.
