Estia Joseph Eichten (born October 12, 1946 in Stillwater , Minnesota ) is an American theoretical elementary particle physicist who works at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory .

Eichten studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received his master’s degree in 1968 and his doctorate under Roman Jackiw in 1972 . From 1972 to 1974 he was a post-doctoral student at SLAC and from 1974 to 1977 at Cornell University . In 1975/76 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . From 1977 he was assistant and then associate professor of theoretical physics at Harvard University before joining the theory department of Fermilab in 1982. Since 1989 he has had the top Scientist III rank there .

Among other things, he dealt with the spectroscopy of mesons with heavy quarks , with quarkonium and models of elementary particles and dynamic symmetry breaking in Technicolor theories ( GUT - Yang Mills theories similar to quantum chromodynamics but with more degrees of color freedom) with Kenneth Lane . With Chris Quigg , Kenneth Lane and Ian Hinchliffe , he was the author of the influential review article Supercollider Physics in 1984 (Reviews of Modern Physics, Volume 56, pp. 579-707). In 2011 he received the Sakurai Prize for this . Since 2011 he has been working on the possibilities of a muon collider in the area of ​​several TeV .

In 1978 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2003) and the American Physical Society .
