Estia J. Eichten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Estia J. Eichten, is a theoretical physicist, of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. He graduated from M.I.T., where he was a student of Roman Jackiw, and was Associate Professor of Physics at Harvard before joining the Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department in 1982.

In 1984 he coauthored "Supercollider Physics" (with Kenneth Lane, Chris Quigg and Ian Hinchliffe) which has strongly influenced the quest for future discoveries at hadron colliders, such as the Fermilab Tevatron, the SSC, and the LHC at CERN. He has made many other significant contributions, including the study of the spectroscopy of heavy-light mesons (for which he was an originator of the idea of heavy quark symmetry), quarkonium, and dynamical symmetry breaking theories of the weak interactions (with Kenneth Lane).
