Herwig Franz Schopper, German physicist, was born in Lanškroun, Czechoslovakia on February 28, 1924. He was involved at CERN as a Research Associate (1966-1967), Division Leader of the Nuclear Physics Division (1970), member of the Directorate responsible for the Co-ordination of the Experimental Programme, Chairman of the ISR Committee at CERN (1973-1976), member of the Scientific Policy Committee (1979) and finally as Director General from 1981-1988. Schopper's mandate also saw the awarding of two Nobel prizes in physics to CERN physicists. In 1984 CERN physicists Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer shared the prize for their contributions to the project which lead to the discovery of the field particles W and Z, communicators of weak interaction. In 1988, Jack Steinberger, continuing his research work at CERN, was a joint recipient of the prize (together with Leon M. Lederman and Melvin Schwartz, USA) for the neutrino beam method and the demonstration of the doublet structure of the leptons through the discovery of the muon neutrino. Schopper served eight years as CERN's Director-General until he was succeeded by Carlo Rubbia in January 1989. In 2003, Herwig Schopper was elected to the post of president of the International Centre for Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) Council. ==See also== *List of Directors General of CERN *(Scientific publications of Herwig Schopper on INSPIRE-HEP ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herwig Schopper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
