Rolf Wider e (1902-1996) was an extraordinary scientist and inventor. Whilst still a student of engineering he put forward the principles for a "betatron accelerator" and successfully operated the first "linear accelerator" (linac). In 1943 he patented the principle of "colliding storage rings" and in 1945 he submitted a patent which included a complete theory of the "synchrotron". After the War he began to build betatrons for technical and medical applications at BBC in Swizerland where he developed an interesting "two components theory" on the effects of radiation on living cells. For 20 years he taught accelerator physics at the ETH Zurich. He was the subject of occasional reproaches for having worked for the German Luftwaffe during the War, when he built a betatron in Hamburg. This autobiography includes his reasons, and his statements should provide valuable historic insights.

Pedro Waloschek ist 1929 in Dresden (als ﾖsterreicher) geboren, hat 1954 an der Universit舩 Buenos Aires in Physik promoviert und war seitdem auf dem Gebiet der Teilchenphysik t舩ig, erst am MPI-Gtingen, dann in der Schweiz und 11 Jahre in Italien, wo er an den Universit舩en Bologna und Bari unterrichtet hat und habilitiert wurde. Von 1968 bis 1994 war er einer der "leitenden Wissenschaftler" am Forschungszentrum DESY in Hamburg. Waloschek ist Autor oder Koautor von etwa 100 wissenschaftlichen Verfentlichungen. Seit 1978 besch臟tigt er sich zunehmend mit der mlichst verst舅dlichen Darstellung seines Faches, insbesondere f? den Schulunterricht (8 B?her, darunter das "dtv Wterbuch Physik" und viele Veranstaltungen). 1999 w舐e sein Vater, der Architekt Hans Waloschek 100 Jahre alt geworden. Pedro Waloschek hat mit seiner Schwester Jutta deshalb mehrere Verfentlichungen ?er sein Leben und sein Werk verfasst.
