The DPP Chronicle 5 Ferther Cmments

Marshall Rosenbluth was a dominant force in the development of plasma and fusion science. It is difficult to find an aspect of the fieldto which he did not make substantial contribution. His contributions were recognized by the award of a number of major prizes, including the E.O Lawrence Prize, 1965; the Albert Einstein Prize, 1967; the Maxwell Prize, 1976; the Fermi Prize, 1985; the United States National Medal of Science, 1997; and the European Physical Society Hannes Alfven Prize, 2002. Marshall was well known for his quick wit, his tireless advocacy of both magnetic and inertial confine- ment fusion, and especially for his seemingly endless major contributions to plasma physics. He was considered a friend by most with whom he dealt, both theorists and experimentalists, and from office staff to laboratory directors. He showed a special interest in recognizing the talents and contributions of younger scientists.
