Ian Hinchliffe

Ian Hinchliffe ( born 1952 in Dewsbury ) is a British physicist.

Hinchliffe studied at Oxford University, where he 1974 a bachelor's degree in 1977 and did his doctorate at St. John's College in theoretical elementary particle physics at Christopher Llewelyn Smith. Since 1983 he is at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ( LBNL ), where he headed from 1992 to 1999, the group of theoretical physics.

Since 1996 he is with the ATLAS group of the Large Hadron Collider. 2006 to 2007 he was a physics coordinator of the group and he headed the Atlas Group at LBNL. Hinchliffe is primarily concerned with experimental tests of the standard model at large accelerators in the TeV range.

In 2011 he was awarded with Estia Eichten, Kenneth Lane and Chris Quigg the Sakurai Prize for their early review article on the prospects for new physics at the TeV accelerators to discover (Super Collider Physics, Reviews of Modern Physics 1984), where they in time plans for the 1993 the United States failed to financing Superconducting Super Collider had in view.

Hinchliffe is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

He is married with physics professor at Berkeley Marjorie Shapiro.
