Eugene Beier
Eugene William Beier (born January 30, 1940 in Harvey (Illinois) ) is an American physicist.
Beier studied at Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in 1961 and at the University of Illinois with a master's degree in 1963 and a doctorate in 1966. He became an assistant professor in 1967 and a professor in 1979 at the University of Pennsylvania .
Beier has been concerned with neutrino physics since the late 1970s , first at Brookhaven National Laboratory (Experiment 734), then as part of Kamiokande II (from 1984), where the observation of neutrinos from SN 1987A , the direct observation of solar neutrinos and from Neutrino oscillations succeeded (a muon-neutrino deficit, discovered in 1988 and called Atmospheric Neutrino Anomaly and detected in 1998 as a result of neutrino oscillations). Later he was at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory . He's looking for neutrino-free double beta decay in the late 2000s .
In 2008 he received the Panofsky Prize . In 1998/99 he was a scholarship holder of the American John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation ( Guggenheim Fellow ). He is a fellow of the American Physical Society . In 1989 he received the Bruno Rossi Prize with the Kamiokande II team.
