- Wolfgang Gentner (* 23. Juli 1906 in Frankfurt am Main; † 4. September 1980 in Heidelberg) war ein deutscher Physiker. Bekannt wurde Gentner vor allem durch Arbeiten zur Kernphysik, insbesondere zum Kernphotoeffekt und zur Gammastrahlung. Hinzu kommen bedeutende Forschungsleistungen zur Biophysik, Archäometrie und zur Kosmochemie. Er entwickelte mit der Kalium-Argon-Methode eine Technik zur Altersbestimmung von Mineralien und Meteoriten, hier vor allem für Tektite. Zusammen mit Walther Bothe und Heinz Maier-Leibnitz entwickelte er den „Atlas typischer Nebelkammerbilder“. Nach Gentner ist das renommierte Wolfgang-Gentner-Stipendium für Doktoranden am CERN benannt. (de)

- Wolfgang Gentner (23 July 1906 in Frankfurt am Main – 4 September 1980 in Heidelberg) was a German experimental nuclear physicist. Gentner received his doctorate in 1930 from the University of Frankfurt. From 1932 to 1935 he had a fellowship which allowed him to do postdoctoral research and study at Curie's Radium Institute at the University of Paris. From 1936 to 1945, he was a staff scientist at the Institute of Physics at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research, in Heidelberg. One of his areas of specialization was nuclear photoeffects. He was granted his Habilitation from the University of Frankfurt in 1937. At the end of 1938 and early 1939, he visited the Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley; upon his return to Germany, he participated in the construction of a cyclotron at Heidelberg. During World War II, he participated in the German nuclear energy project, also called the Uranium Club. After World War II, Gentner became a professor at the University of Freiberg. In 1956, Gentner was appointed Director of the Synchrocyclotron Department at CERN. In 1958, he became director of the new Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics at Heidelberg. From 1967 to 1970, he was chairman of the Physicochemicl-technical Section of the Max Planck Society. From 1969 to 1971, he was President of the Science Policy Committee and President of the Council at CERN. From 1972, he was Vice-president of the Max Planck Society. From 1975, he was a member of the board of governors at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. Gentner helped found a number of European scientific organizations during the 1960s. The prestigious Wolfgang Gentner Fellowship for PhD students at CERN is named after Gentner. (en)
