Reinhard Stock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reinhard Stock(born 1938) is a German experimental physicist, specializing inheavy-ion physics.

Education and career

[edit]

Stock studied atHeidelberg University,where he received his doctorate with thesis advisor Rudolf Bock.[1]Stock was a postdoc at theUniversity of Pennsylvania,where he worked onbiophysics.From 1985 until his retirement in 2004, he was a professor at the Institute for Nuclear Physics at theGoethe University Frankfurt,where he was head of the institute for a time. He has been a Senior Fellow at theFrankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies(FIAS) since 2007.

During the 1970s Stock did pioneering work with Hans Gutbrod and Rudolf Bock in setting up relativistic heavy ion experiments atLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory(LBNL[2]), where he worked onBevalacwithArthur Poskanzer.Stock continued such research from the mid-1980s with higher energies atCERN.He was a longtime spokesman for theNA49 experimentthere. In a series of experiments started in 1994, the CERN scientists used theSuper Proton Synchrotron(SPS) to create aquark–gluon plasmain relativistic collisions between lead nuclei and to indirectly detect the decay of the quark–gluon plasma into neutrons and protons. In a conference held inTurinin May 1999, the hundreds of CERN scientists from 22 countries reached a consensus that their combined results confirm the hypothesis that quarks become deconfined at high energy densities.[3]

From 1999 to 2004 he chaired the Scientific Council of theGSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research.

He received in 1988, jointly with Hans Gutbrod, theGerman Physical Society's Robert Wichard Pohl Prize.[4]In 1989 theGerman Research Foundationawarded him theLeibniz Prize.[5]In 2008 he andWalter Greinerreceived theEuropean Physical Society'sLise Meitner Prizefor research on relativistic heavy ion physics. Stock was cited "for his outstanding contributions to the development of the field of relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions by initiating research through the innovative use of high-energy accelerators (BEVALAC at LBL, SPS at CERN) which indicated the existence of a new form of matter".[6]
