This Open Access biography chronicles the life and achievements of the Norwegian engineer and physicist Rolf Wideroe. Readers who meet him in the pages of this book will wonder why he isn't better known. The first of Wideroe's many pioneering contributions in the field of accelerator physics was the betatron, the second, the linear accelerator, both summarized in a 27 page PhD. The betatron revolutionized the fields of cancer treatment through radiation therapy and also nondestructive testing; hospitals worldwide installed Wideroe's machine and today's modern radiation treatment equipment is based on his inventions. The most recent renaissance of the linac provides unprecedented x-ray intensities at Free Electron Laser (FEL) facilities in operation and construction worldwide. . Wideroe's story also includes a fair share of drama, particularly during World War II when both Germans and the Allies vied for his collaboration. Wideroe held leading positions in multinational industry groups and was one of the consultants for building the world's largest nuclear laboratory, CERN, in Switzerland. He gained over 200 patents, received several honorary doctorates and a number of international awards. The author, a professional writer and maker of TV documentaries, has gained access to hitherto restricted archives in several countries, which provided a wealth of new material and insights, in particular in relation to the war years. She tells here a gripping and illuminating story.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch beschreibt das Leben und die Leistungen des norwegischen Ingenieurs und Physikers Rolf Wideroe. Zu seinen vielen bahnbrechenden Leistungen auf dem Gebiet der Beschleunigerphysik gehoeren unter anderem das Betatron und der Linearbeschleuniger, deren Konzepte er in seiner 27-seitigen Doktorarbeit veroeffentlichte. Das Betatron revolutionierte die Bereiche der Krebsbehandlung durch Strahlentherapie und durch nicht-desktruktive Tests. Krankenhauser auf der ganzen Welt setzen Wideroes Maschine ein, und auch die heutigen modernen Gerate zur Strahlenbehandlung basieren auf seinen Erfindungen. Die jungste Renaissance des Linearbeschleunigers sorgt fur beispiellose Roentgenintensitaten bei Freien-Elektronen-Laser-Anlagen, die weltweit in Betrieb sind. Wideroes Geschichte enthalt eine gehoerige Portion Dramatik, insbesondere wahrend des Zweiten Weltkriegs, als sowohl die Deutschen als auch die Alliierten um seine Mitarbeit buhlten. Der Physiker hatte fuhrende Positionen in multinationalen Industriekonzernen inne und war einer der Berater beim Bau des weltgroessten Kernforschungszentrums CERN in der Schweiz. Er erwarb uber 200 Patente, erhielt mehrere Ehrendoktorwurden und eine Reihe internationaler Auszeichnungen. Die Autorin, Journalistin und Produzentin von Fernsehdokumentationen, erzahlt in diesem Werk eine fesselnde Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Wahrend ihrer Recherche hatte sie in mehreren Landern Zugang zu bisher verschlossenen Archiven erhalten, die eine Fulle von neuem Material und Erkenntnissen, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit den Kriegsjahren, lieferten. Das E-Book dieses Werks ist als Open-Access-Veroeffentlichung auf springer.com erhaltlich. Die Autorin Aashild Sorheim ist Autorin, Wissenschaftsjournalistin und Produzentin. Sie arbeitete als Journalistin unter anderem fur Aftenposten, Norwegens groesste Tageszeitung, den Norwegischen Rundfunk NRK sowie diverse Forschungsinstitute. Sie ist Grunderin der "Nationalen Stiftung fur die Verbreitung der Forschung". Von 1985 bis 1990 war sie Leiterin der Informationsdienste des koeniglich-norwegischen Rates fur wissenschaftliche und industrielle Forschung. Ihre TV-Dokumentation "Immer Bruder. Rolf und Viggo Wideroe wurde 2016 ausgestrahlt.
