Henning Schröder
Henning Schröder (born March 20, 1945 in Barth ; † April 22, 2012 in Rostock ) was a German experimental particle physicist .
Life
Schröder studied physics at the Free University of Berlin and the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg from 1964 to 1969 , where he received his doctorate in experimental nuclear physics in 1973 and was then an assistant. From 1974 he worked as a research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg at CERN and from 1977 at DESY . After his habilitation in 1988 he was an adjunct professor at the University of Dortmund from 1996 and a professor at the University of Rostock from 1999 . In 2010 he retired. Henning Schröder died on April 22, 2012 as a result of a stroke .

In 1997 Schröder and Juri Michailowitsch Saitsew (Yuri Zaitsev) received the Panofsky Prize for his participation in the DESY Argus collaboration (1982 to 1992 at the Doris storage ring), where the first indications of a high top quark mass were found in 1987 , from the rate of transformations of the B meson into its antiparticle. The top quark was finally observed at Fermilab in 1995 . In 1990 he became a spokesman for the Argus collaboration. Schröder also worked in the Hera-B collaboration, which was supposed to investigate the CP violation in B mesons at DESY and to that extent is the “successor” of the Argus experiments. But after the BaBar and Belle experiments got ahead of them, the program of the experiment, the data acquisition of which ran from 1999 to 2003, was changed (for example to investigate the generation and interaction of charm quarks in atomic nuclei).
Most recently he was also involved in the SLAC's BaBar experiment , the OPERA experiment to investigate neutrino oscillations in Gran Sasso and the DESY TESLA project.
