Pierre Victor Auger (May 14, 1899 - December 24, 1993) was a French physicist, born in Paris. He worked in the fields of atomic physics, nuclear physics, and cosmic ray physics. In his work with cosmic rays, he found that the cosmic radiation events were coincident in time meaning that they were assoc...
