Question

This physicist names a gauge transformation based on the generating function “minus the position vector dotted with the vector potential at the origin.” A phenomenon predicted in this physicist’s PhD thesis, which was detected 30 years later in doped calcium fluoride, is measured in namesake units equal to “10-to-the-minus-50 centimeters-to-the-fourth seconds per photon.” (-5[1])This physicist first predicted two-photon (10[1])absorption. In 1949, this physicist and J. Hans D. Jensen (-5[1])independently developed a model that incorporates the Woods–Saxon potential, predicts 2, 8, 20, and 28 (10[1])to be the first few magic numbers, and considers distinct layers of protons (-5[1])and neutrons in analogy to the way electrons surround the nucleus. For 10 points, name this co-creator of the nuclear shell model, whose married surname (10[1])provides the name of a unit abbreviated (10[3])“GM.” ■END■ (10[1]0[14])
