Jürgen Schukraft
Jürgen G. Schukraft (* 1953 in Gemmingen ) is a German physicist who deals with ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions and the new phases of matter ( quark-gluon-plasma ) that are generated .
Schukraft went to high school in Eppingen , studied in Heidelberg and received his doctorate at Heidelberg University in 1983 (dynamic properties of Coulomb fission) with a dissertation on fission processes when uranium cores collide in the heavy ion accelerator of the GSI. He then worked at CERN, where he researched proton-proton collisions in the Intersecting Storage Ring (ISR) (R808) as well as heavy ion collisions at both CERN (NA34, NA45 at the SPS) and the Brookhaven National Laboratory (E855). He is a founding member of the ALICE collaboration and was its spokesman from 1991 to 2010.
He is co-editor of the European Physics Journal C.
In 2014 he and other ALICE employees received the Lise Meitner Prize .
