Ivan Derado
Ivan "Ivo" Derado (* 24. October 1929 in Split , Kingdom of Yugoslavia ) is a Yugoslav-German elementary - physicist .
Life
Ivan Derado's parents are the chemists Josip Derado and Milka Derado, nee. Sperac. He grew up in his native city of Split. After completing his military service in the Yugoslav army , he received his university entrance qualification at the classic grammar school in Split in 1952. In the same year, Ivan Derados began studying physics at the University of Zagreb . In the third year of his physics studies in Zagreb, he began in 1955 as a scholarship holder of the Atomski Institute Ruđer Bošković with the thesis on the beta spectrum of 204 Tl . Ivan Derados graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Zagreb in 1957 with the grade "very good". In September 1957, a grant from the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPI) made it possible to move to Göttingen . There he began in Klaus Gottstein's group using the then new bubble chamber technology to investigate elementary particle interactions. After the MPI for Physics moved to Munich, he continued to work there on his doctoral thesis as a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation . From autumn 1959 Ivan Derados was a fellow (quota of the Federal Republic) at CERN in Geneva for one year . In February 1961 Ivan Derado received his doctorate at the Ludwig Maximilians University with the dissertation Experimental and theoretical investigations of pion - proton interactions at 1 G eV with summa cum laude . During the measurements the first indications of a meson resonance emerged.
Until 1963 Ivan Derado worked as a research assistant at the Munich University as well as at the MPI for Physics and Astrophysics. From November 1963 he was Assistant Professor , then Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame , Indiana, USA. In 1966 Derado went to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) at Stanford University as a staff member . Here he was visiting professor from 1966 to 1968 and worked in Robert Mozley's group on the Streamer-Kammer project to investigate electromagnetic interactions.
In 1965 he married the German biochemist Thea Köhler . On February 8, 1968 he received German citizenship ( FRG ). This enabled him to return to Munich with his family. There he was employed as a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics until his retirement in 1994 .
Derado's research area was experimental high-energy physics and the physics of elementary particles . His experiments, mostly in international collaborations, were carried out at the large particle accelerators : Brookhaven National Laboratory , SLAC, CERN, DESY , Fermilab . The results of his experiments, carried out with the help of bubble chambers, streamer and trace drift chambers , were reflected in numerous scientific publications. He also spent time studying at the Laboratoire de l'Accélérateur Linéaire (LAL) at the University of Paris-South , at the Nuclear Research Center in Saclay and Dubna ( JINR ) and at the University of Rome (La Sapienza) .
He also dealt with philosophical problems in physics and solar energy.
Ivo Derado gave his wife Thea Derado, b. Koehler has two children and four grandchildren.
