Description
Bernd Krusche, professor for nuclear and particle physics at the University of Basel, died on June 1st, 2022 at the age of 66. In this talk his service to the community, his achievements and most relevant contributions to hadron physics will be described. His experiments at the electron accelerators ELSA in Bonn and MAMI in Mainz focused on the photo-production of mesons off nucleons and nuclei. In more than 300 publications he obtained valuable information on the interaction of mesons with nucleons, the excitation of nucleon resonances and the interaction of mesons with nuclei, in particular on meson absorption and the search for meson-nucleus bound states.\newline
