Martin Breidenbach
Martin Breidenbach (born October 10, 1943 in New York City ) is an American experimental particle physicist.
Breidenbach studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1965 and his doctorate in 1970. His dissertation was in the context of the first deep inelastic electron-proton scattering experiment at the SLAC by Henry W. Kendall , Jerome I. Friedman and Richard E. Taylor (the received the Nobel Prize). In 1971/72 he was at CERN (Split Field Magnet Group at ISR ). He then went back to SLAC, where he was involved in Burton Richter's experiments at the SPEAR storage ring that found new Charmonium states. He was significantly involved in the construction of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), the development of which began in 1980 (control system of the SLC, design of the SLD detector). In 1984 he was co-spokesman for the SLD with Charles Baltay. Precise determinations of the parameters of the electroweak interaction were carried out there until the discontinuation in 1998. In 1989 he became a professor at SLAC.
He is also involved in the Next Linear Collider project of the SLAC, which was abandoned in favor of participation in the International Linear Collider .
In 2000 he received the Panofsky Prize . He is a fellow of the American Physical Society .
