Prof. Soldner verstärkt den Lehrstuhl E18 am Physik-Department

 

Torsten Soldner received his PhD from TUM in 2001. He worked as instrument scientist at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France. Since 2003 he is staff scientist at the ILL. From
01.10.2009 until 30.09.2010 he is replacing Prof. Oliver Zimmer at TUM.

The research interests of Torsten Soldner are in low-energy particle physics, namely precision experiments with slow neutrons. He has developed a new method for ultra-high polarization of cold neutron beams and measured a new limit on time reversal violation in neutron beta decay. He works on different measurements of correlations in neutron beta decay, for example beta- or neutrino asymmetry. The results are used to derive parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics, but also to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, as, for example, scalar- or tensor-like interactions or right-handed contributions to weak interaction. Improving experimental techniques is an important part of the research.

Torsten Soldner was editor of the proceedings of the International Workshop on Particle Physics with Slow Neutrons, Grenoble, 2008.
