Robert Klanner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Klanner (born May 25, 1945 in Austria ) is an Austrian emeritus for experimental physics.

Career

After completing his diploma thesis at the Technical University of Munich in connection with experiments at CERN , Robert Klanner did his doctorate in the early 1970s with particle physics experiments in Protvino (in what was then the Soviet Union ). He then did research as a postdoctoral fellow and assistant professor at the University of Illinois . In the mid-1970s he returned to Germany to the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) in Munich. In 1984 he went to Hamburg to set up the high-energy physics experiments in the German electron synchrotron . There he was primarily involved in setting up, operating and analyzing the ZEUS experiment at the HERA hadron-electron ring system . In 1996 Robert Klanner was appointed professor of physics at the University of Hamburg , and in 1999 he was appointed research director of DESY. He held this position until 2005. In 2010 Robert Klanner retired. Robert Klanner is, among other things, an expert in the field of silicon detectors. For a long time he was a magazine editor at Elsevier . Klanner were awarded the Julius Wess Prize 2016 and the High Energy and Particle Physics Prize 2017 with Gerhard Lutz and Erik HM Heijne for the development of silicon strip detectors for particle physics experiments.
