Andrzej Bialas
Andrzej Bialas (born July 26, 1936 in Krakow ) is a Polish theoretical nuclear and elementary particle physicist.
life and work
Bialas studied physics at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow with a diploma in 1958 and a doctorate in 1962. At that time, he dealt with general relativity, later with high-energy and nuclear physics. In 1966 he completed his habilitation and in 1986 he became a professor in Krakow.
He deals with the phenomenology of inelastic scattering processes of hadrons on hadrons and on nuclei with particle generation and with relativistic heavy ion collisions in the context of quantum chromodynamics and - since he often investigated soft processes that cannot be described in terms of perturbation theory - various phenomenological models. In 1972 he developed a model of diffractive production of particles in hadron-hadron collisions with W. Czyz and A. Kotanski. In 1976 he developed with M. and W. Bleszynski Czyz the wounded nucleon model initially for collisions between cores, with wounded , English wounded a nucleon is meant participating in the inelastic collision. According to the model, each wounded nucleon in the projectile and target makes an independent contribution to particle generation. He used it to describe the distribution of the multiplicity of the generated particles in high-energy hadron-hadron or hadron-core collisions. Together with R. Peschanski, he interpreted peaks in the rapidity distribution of the generated particles as an intermittency phenomenon similar to that in chaos theory and signs of short-range interference.
In 2001 he became President of the Polska Akademia Umiejętności and he is a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences . In 2009 he was elected a member of the Academia Europaea .
He has the Knight and Commander's Cross of the Order of the Polish Rebirth (Polonia Restituta). In 2003/04 he received the Marian Smoluchowski Medal and in 1997/98 the Marian Smoluchowski Emil Warburg Physics Prize .
He was a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich several times. As a leading member of the Cracow School of Theoretical Physics, he regularly organized physics conferences (Cracow School of Theoretical Physics) in Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains .
