An experimental <particle physicist> who, with <Marietta Blau>, studied nuclear disintegrations recorded in photographic emulsions exposed to <cosmic rays>. Several heavy charged tracks emerging from a common point identified a nuclear event. The emulsion served simultaneously as target and persistent track detector, allowing the geometry of a rare interaction to be examined after exposure.<Disintegration Processes by Cosmic Rays with the Simultaneous Emission of Several Heavy Particles by Marietta Blau and Hertha Wambacher>[1937 research letter: multiple heavy-particle tracks from disintegration events]{ref}
