Józef Lubański was a Polish physicist.
Education
[edit]In 1937 he obtained the degree of magister philosophies at Wilna.
Work and research
[edit]Lubanski worked for two years as an assistant in theoretical physics at Polish universities, and obtained a grant in order to travel to Holland to work under Prof. H. A. Kramers at Leyden. His original intention was to go to Copenhagen in the following year, although the Second World War prevented this.
Lubanski worked with Prof. Léon Rosenfeld at Utrecht, and dating from this period he wrote a number of papers on the properties of mesons mainly in the journal Physica, one in the Arkiv för matematik, Astronomi och fysik.
Around 1937 in Kraków, he collaborated with Myron Mathisson and Weyssenhoff's colleagues on the motion of spinning particles in linearized gravitational fields according to general relativity,[1] and under Mathisson's lead, published a paper on the derivation of the Mathisson equations of motion.
He developed the Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector in relativistic quantum mechanics.[2]
He also worked at the laboratory of Delft University of Technology in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics.
