Abstract

An outstanding nuclear experimentalist, Felix Hans Boehm made vital and lasting contributions to many branches of nuclear physics, particularly the application of nuclear techniques to the study of fundamental particle physics problems. His scientific career, lasting more than four decades, spans the evolution of nuclear experiments from brief measurements carried out by a small group of physicists to the present-day endeavors involving large groups of people with varying responsibilities, large and expensive apparatus, long measurements, and complicated efforts to obtain the necessary funding. His career and his achievements illustrate this remarkable transition.
