The term professional physicist has multiple meanings. The most widely used meaning is that it is a physicist who works in physics for a living. This meaning would include theoretical physics theoretical physicists and experimental physics experimental physicists , and may also include physics professors and authors of physics books and textbooks. The term may also refer a physicist who has received professional certification . In particular, the Canadian Association of Physicists offers a certification exam and has registered Professional Physicist as a trademark in Canada .

During his PhD at UCLA with professor Finkelstein he made some early contributions to lattice formulation of quantum field theory around 1972, which was a year before Kenneth Wilson , and two years before Alexander Markovich Polyakov Alexander Polyakov . However, he encountered some problems with fermion doubling which he could not solve at the moment. At that time he did not realize the value of his work and he only mentioned it briefly in his Ph.D. thesis in 1974, which was about Schwinger source theory. A few years later he returned to working on the lattice formulation and became a well known expert in the field. He works at the University of Amsterdam at the Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Peter Fowler Fellow of the Royal Society FRS 27 February 1923 8 November 1996 was a British physicist. His father was the physicist Sir Ralph Howard Fowler , who determined the state of matter in white dwarf stars, and his grandfather, a giant of 20th century physics, Lord Ernest Rutherford , who discovered the atomic nucleus. Peter researched primary cosmic radiation, measuring the presence of beryllium, boron, and lithium in cosmic rays . At the University of Bristol , Fowler studied under Cecil Powell . Fowler developed improved methods for measuring cosmic rays, using high altitude balloons and later jets, and investigated the radiation hazards of high altitude supersonic flight. He studied radioactive fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power station explosion in Ukraine, and after the 1988 Lockerbie aircraft bombing he developed a thermal neutron based methodology for screening passengers luggage. Peter Fowler served as a radar officer in the wartime RAF 1942 46 . Following the D Day landings, RAF bombers soon experienced intensive German jamming of their Gee navigation system. Fowler used his already well honed skills to detect the interference signals and through expert analysis was able to locate the station responsible, which was subsequently destroyed. It is reported that Goering demanded a court martial over what the Axis powers viewed as a breach of security they did not believe that it was possible to locate a jamming station so rapidly. Peter won the 1974 Hughes Medal of the Royal Society for his outstanding contributions to cosmic ray and elementary particle physics . ref cite web url http www.iupap.org commissions c4 cosnews cosnews38.html title CosNews No. 28, Spring 1997 publisher International Union of Pure and Applied Physics accessdate 2009 02 06 ref References Reflist Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .
