Encyclopedia Article
Robert Hofstadter (1915-1990), American physicist and Nobel laureate, born in New York City. Hofstadter received his Ph.D. degree from Princeton University in 1938 and joined the faculty of Stanford University in 1950. Using the linear accelerator at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and a scattering machine of his own design, Hofstadter was able to measure with great precision the size and shape of the proton and neutron. Both were found to consist of a positively charged, dense, pointlike core surrounded by two intermingling layers of meson clouds (Elementary Particles). Hofstadter shared the 1961 Nobel Prize in physics with Rudolf Ludwig Mössbauer.
