Savas Dimopoulos

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Savas Dimopoulos ( Greek Σάββας Δημόπουλος , * 1952 in Istanbul ) is a Greek particle physicist at Stanford University .

biography

Dimopoulos was born in Istanbul and later moved to Athens. He studied at the University of Houston and moved to the University of Chicago , where he received his doctorate in 1979 with Yōichirō Nambu . After completing his doctorate, he went to Columbia University before taking a position at Stanford University in 1980 . During 1981 and 1982 he also taught at the Universities of Michigan , Harvard and the University of California, Santa Barbara . From 1994 to 1997 he was on leave from Stanford University to work at the CERN research center . He has also been visiting professor at the Perimeter Institute since 2014 .

In 1982 he became a research fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellow ). In 2006 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .

His work

Dimopoulos became known for some theoretical work beyond the standard model , such as B. the development of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). He published this model together with Howard Georgi in 1981. In further collaboration with Nima Arkani-Hamed and Gia Dwali , he also developed the ADD model, which is also known as the “ theory of the large extra dimensions ”. For this and other work on theoretical particle physics, he received the Sakurai Prize in 2006 .

Publications

Some of his works are:

  • Baryogenesis on the GUT scale
  • Early work on Technicolor
  • MSSM and the union of the coupling constants in the MSSM
  • "Moduli-mediated millimeter scale forces" (interactions in mm range from supersymmetry)
  • “Large extra dimensions”, with Nima Arkani-Hamed and Gia Dwali
  • Split supersymmetry
