Ikaros Bigi
Ikaros I. Bigi (born August 22, 1947 in Munich ) is a German theoretical elementary particle physicist .
Bigi studied at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (Diploma 1973), the University of Oxford , the University of Pavia and Stanford University . In 1977 he received his doctorate in Munich and his habilitation at RWTH Aachen University in 1984 . Since 1988 he has been a professor at the University of Notre Dame du Lac . He was also at SLAC , CERN , the University of Oregon , Fermilab and the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich.
Bigi dealt with the phenomenology of the standard model of elementary particles and physics going beyond that. In particular, he worked with Anthony Sanda on CP injury in the B meson system. The CP violation was first discovered in 1964 in the K-meson system, but also predicted by Bigi and Sanda in 1980 in the B-meson system, which was confirmed experimentally in 2001 - in the so-called "B-meson factories" at SLAC in Stanford (BaBar) and KEK in Japan (BELLE).
In 2004 he received the Sakurai Prize with Sanda and became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .
