Dieter Haidt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter Haidt (* 1940 ) is a German physicist.

Life

Haidt graduated from Kepler-Gymnasium in Tübingen in 1958 and then studied physics at the University of Tübingen with a diploma in experimental physics in 1965. He then moved to RWTH Aachen , where he was a member of the X2 collaboration. He was also a visiting scholar at University College London in 1966 . In 1969 he received his doctorate summa cum laude from RWTH Aachen University and in 1970 he received the Borchers Medal. From 1970 he was a member of the Gargamelle collaboration at CERN (from RWTH Aachen University) and from 1971 to 1978 employed at CERN. With the Gargamelle collaboration in 1973, weak neutral currents ( Z bosons ) were discovered. The collaboration looked for this in neutrino reactions without muon generation. The rapid recognition was due not least to calculations by Haidt, who showed that it was a novel effect (and not, for example, interactions between neutrons, for example). Also involved in the experiment were Antonino Pullia , Helmut Faissner (1928–2007) and André Lagarrigue (1924–1975).

He was the spokesman for the neutrino-propane experiment at the Gargamelle bubble chamber and he was involved in neutrino experiments at the BEBC detector. From 1979 to 2004 he was a Senior Scientist at DESY . From 1979 to 1986 he was a member of the JADE collaboration at DESY and from 1994 of the H1 collaboration. He was a member of the Physics Research Committee (PRC) of DESY and organized the DESY seminars. In 2007 he received emeritus status.

In 1987/88 he was a visiting researcher at KEK in Japan.

In 2011 he received the Premio Enrico Fermi with Pullia . In 2009 the Gargamelle collaboration received the High Energy and Particle Physics Prize from the European Physical Society.

From 1986 to 1997 he was editor of the Zeitschrift für Physik C and from 1997 to 2006 editor of its successor European Physical Journal C.
