Fowler, WilliamAlfred
Fowler, WilliamAlfred (1911–95)Americanphysicist and astrophysicist. In 1938, H. A.
Bethe had proposed the
proton–proton reaction as a source of energy in stars. Fowler demonstrated theoretically that the process was indeed possible. In the 1950s, he collaborated with G. R. and E. M.
Burbidge and F.
Hoyle on a theory of energy generation and nucleosynthesis in stars (known as the B
2FH theory). Further theoretical work with Hoyle in the late 1960s showed that a
hot Big Bang would produce the observed amount of helium in the Universe. He and S.
Chandrasekhar shared the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physics.
