Victor Franz Hess (1883-1964), Austrian-American physicist and Nobel laureate, one of the earliest workers in the field of cosmic rays. He taught in both Austria and the United States. As early as 1911 he measured cosmic-ray activity at altitudes as great as 9000 m (30,000 ft). He shared the 1936 Nobel Prize in physics with the American physicist Carl David Anderson. Hess wrote Conductivity of the Atmosphere (1928) and Cosmic Rays and Their Biological Effects (1949).
