“…22 It is therefore quite understandable that, as the war ended, the German knowledge in accelerator science became of possible interest to the Allied nations, and in particular to the British, less so to the Americans, whose expertise and dominance were not lacking in this field. The German work on betatrons, which had been going on through the war, became part of the British war spoils (Hall 2019).…”

Bruno Touschek was an Austrian born theoretical physicist, who proposed and built the first electron-positron collider in 1960 in the Frascati National Laboratories in Italy. In this note we reconstruct a crucial period of Bruno Touschek's life so far scarcely explored, which runs from Summer 1945 to the end of 1946. We shall describe his university studies in Göttingen, placing them in the context of the reconstruction of German science after 1945. The influence of Werner Heisenberg and other prominent German physicists will be highlighted. In parallel, we shall show how the decisions of the Allied powers, towards restructuring science and technology in the UK after the war effort, determined Touschek's move to the University of Glasgow in 1947.Make it a story of distances and starlight
