Paul Soeding

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Heinrich Söding (born February 20, 1933 in Dresden ) is a German physicist who is best known for his work in the field of experimental elementary particle physics .

Live and act

Paul Söding studied physics at the Universities of Hamburg and Munich . In Hamburg he was one of Willibald Jentschke's first graduate students . In 1964 he was at the University of Hamburg with the thesis elastic scattering and single pion generation by pp interaction at 3.6 GeV / c. PhD . He then conducted research at the University of California, Berkeley , Cornell University in New York and the European Nuclear Research Center CERN .

In 1969 he became chief scientist at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg. There he and his colleagues succeeded in detecting a gluon for the first time in 1979 using the “PETRA” particle accelerator . From 1982 to 1991, as Research Director, he was responsible in particular for the construction of the “HERA” storage ring system. In 1986 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . He is an external member of the Polish Academy of Learning (Polska Akademia Umiejętności).

Paul Söding took over the management of DESY Zeuthen in 1992 and moved to Königs Wusterhausen . In doing so, "his commitment ... succeeded in bringing the research location Zeuthen into a globally recognized position."

In 1998 he retired . He then worked at the Humboldt University in Berlin .
