This physicist names a gauge transformation based on the generating function “minus the position vector dotted with the vector potential at the origin.” A phenomenon predicted in this physicist’s PhD thesis, which was detected 30 years later in doped calcium fluoride, is measured in namesake units equal to “10-to-the-minus-50 centimeters-to-the-fourth seconds per photon.” This physicist first predicted two-photon absorption. In 1949, this physicist and J. Hans D. Jensen independently developed a model that incorporates the Woods–Saxon potential, predicts 2, 8, 20, and 28 to be the first few magic numbers, and considers distinct layers of protons and neutrons in analogy to the way electrons surround the nucleus. For 10 points, name this co-creator of the nuclear shell model, whose married surname provides the name of a unit abbreviated “GM.” ■END■
