Magda Galula Ericson (born c. 1929[1][2]) is a Tunisian and Algerian physicist.

Contributions

Ericson is known for her contributions to nuclear pion physics, which is a subfield of nuclear physics. She discovered the Lorentz-Lorenz-Ericson-Ericson effect of the pion-nuclear optical model within electroweak interactions,[3] alongside her future husband, Torleif Ericson, a nuclear physicist from Sweden.[4][5] She has also been one of the leading researchers on the interpretation of the EMC effect.[6][7]

Ericson continues her research to this day, although her husband has retired.[8] She is eligible for, but has not been awarded, a Nobel Prize.[9]

Education and life

Magda received her PhD in experimental physics at the Sorbonne in 1958, working for the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).[5][8] In 1959 she received a Fulbright scholarship to MIT. She has been a visiting CERN researcher since 1965.[10] Her cousin David Galula was a prominent military theorist.[11]
