Satoshi Ozaki
Satoshi Ozaki ( Japanese 尾崎 敏 , Ozaki Satoshi ; born July 4, 1929 in Osaka Prefecture , † July 22, 2017 in Smithtown , New York ) was a Japanese-American physicist who studied the physics of particle accelerators and experimental Elementary particle physics.
Ozaki studied at Osaka University , where he received his bachelor's degree in 1953 and his master's degree in physics in 1955. In 1959 he received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then went to the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). There he carried out experiments at the AGS Synchrotron and the Cosmotron , and headed the Multiparticle Spectrometer Group (MPS) and the On Line Data Facility (OLDF). In 1981 he went to Tsukuba to lead the development of the 30 plus 30 GeV electron-positron collider TRISTAN at KEK , the first major high-energy physics accelerator project in Japan. After its completion in 1987, he became head of the accelerator department at KEK.In 1989 he returned to the BNL to take over the management of the RHIC project, a superconducting heavy ion accelerator. He successfully led RHIC through the nine-year construction phase, which remained within the planned framework, both in terms of time and finances.
From 2005 he headed the Accelerator Systems Division at the BNL and was in charge of the NSLS-II project there from 2007.
He was a consultant at KEK, CERN ( LHC Machine Advisory Committee) and SLAC . In 1969 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 2004 he received the Suwa Prize for funding major accelerator projects such as TRISTAN and in 2009 the Robert R. Wilson Prize .
He died on July 22, 2017 at the St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation Care Center in Smithtown near Brookhaven.
