	Fritz Strassmann \| Biography \| atomicarchive.com
		Fritz Strassmann was born on February 22, 1902, in Boppard, Germany.
		Strassmann later worked at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and, from 1945 to 1953, was director of the chemistry department at the Max Planck Institute.
		Strassmann was on the ALSOS list, the Manhattan Project's military intelligence effort to capture known, enemy nuclear scientists in an attempt to learn how far Germany had progressed in its efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.

	Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, and Fritz Strassmann
		In 1938 Otto Hahn (1879–1968), Lise Meitner (1878–1968), and Fritz Strassmann (1902–1980) were the first to recognize that the uranium atom, when bombarded by neutrons, actually split.
		In 1912 their research group was relocated to the new Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft, where Fritz Haber was head of the physical chemistry institute, Hahn was head of the radioactivity institute, and from 1918 Meitner was head of the radioactivity institute's physics department.
		Meitner, Hahn, and another chemist, Fritz Strassmann, who had worked with the partners since 1929, were deeply involved in identifying the products of neutron bombardment of uranium and their decay patterns.

	Otto Hahn. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the process of duplicating her work, Hahn and co-worker Fritz Strassmann discovered that, among other things, three isotopes of barium had been produced.
		When they published their results (Jan. 6, 1939) Hahn and Strassmann noted that such a thing was "in opposition to all the phenomena observed up to the present in nuclear physics." Hahn, conscious of the fact that as a chemist he was trading in the domain of physics, did not offer an explanation.
		Nevertheless, despite the contributions of Strassmann and Meitner, it was Hahn who was awarded the 1944 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery.

		She started detailed studies of neutron energy, and was among the first to note that slow neutrons were more readily captured in nuclear reactions than fast ones.
		In the midst of very exciting discoveries, while she was leading the team, she was formally an assistant, and it was impossible for her to be part of many Hahn and Strassmann publications.

	The Discovery of Fission, 1938-1939
		Fission, the basis of the atomic bomb, was discovered in Nazi Germany less than a year before the beginning of the Second World War.
		It was December 1938 when the radiochemists Otto Hahn (right, with Lise Meitner) and Fritz Strassmann, while bombarding elements with neutrons in their Berlin laboratory, made their unexpected discovery.
		It soon became clear that the process of fission discovered by Hahn and Strassmann had another important characteristic besides the immediate release of enormous amounts of energy.

		This article chronicles the events and reasoning that explain why nuclear physicist Lise Meitner failed to receive a Nobel Prize in 1946 for her work in the discovery of fission.
		The authors briefly present an overview of Meitner?s work with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, and later with her nephew Otto Frisch.
		Using official records of the Nobel Prize deliberations, they then review the Nobel committee?s assessments of fission and of how the discovery was made, and they analyze the failures of the committee to properly take into account Meitner?s participation in the discovery.

		At her suggestion, Hahn and Strassmann performed further tests on a uranium product they thought was radium.
		But the separation of the former collaborators and Lise's scientific and actual exile led to the Nobel committee's failure to understand her part in the work.

	The New York Review of Books: LISE MEITNER'S GENIUS
		Although Hahn and Strassmann got her Nobel prize, crediting them with Meitner's discovery is like giving credit for a great chef's recipe to the kitchen helper who stirred the pot.
		On December 19, 1938, Hahn wrote to her that he and Strassmann had found it impossible to separate one of the radioactive elements produced by the irradiation of uranium with neutrons from barium, an element of only slightly more than half the weight of uranium.
		When Meitner's young physicist nephew Otto Robert Frisch came to visit her in Sweden over Christmas, they realized that barium could have been formed only if absorption of a neutron had induced the uranium nucleus to split in half, and they predicted the large amount of energy that would have been released in the process.

		She moved to Sweden and in 1939 wrote a paper on nuclear fission with her nephew, Otto Frisch, where they argued that by splitting the atom it was possible to use a few pounds of uranium to create the explosive and destructive power of many thousands of pounds of dynamite.

		When his students noted that wooden lab tables increased the ability of neutrons to induce artificial radioactivity, Fermi proposed that only slowed neutrons were absorbed to create heavier atoms.
		This led Fermi's team, Marie Curie's team in Paris, and the team of Lise Meitner, Fritz Strassmann, and Otto Hahn in Germany to attempt production of an element heavier than Uranium.
		When Strassmann informed Meitner by mail that their product was chemically identical to Barium, she and her nephew, Otto Frisch, proposed fission.

		Hahn's innate caution stopped him from making so bold a claim in public.
		"As nuclear chemists," Hahn and his young collaborator, Fritz Strassmann, wrote later, "we cannot bring ourselves to take this step, so contradictory to all the experience of nuclear physics." But Hahn's former coworker, Physicist Lise Meitner, had no such hesitation.
		Hearing of the experiment in exile in Sweden, she not only proclaimed that Hahn and Strassmann had achieved nuclear fission, but also calculated that each atom of uranium had released 20 million times as much energy as a comparable amount of TNT.
