Anthony Ichiro Sanda

Anthony Ichirō Sanda (Japanese三 田 一郎, Sanda Ichirō; born March 4, 1944) is a Japanese- American theoretical particle physicist

Sanda studied at the University of Illinois ( BA 1965) and received his doctorate in 1969 from Princeton University. After that, he was a scientist at Columbia University, and from 1971 to 1974 at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. 1974-1992, he was first an assistant professor and then associate professor at Rockefeller University and from 1992 professor of physics at Nagoya University, where he was in 1997/98 Head of the Physics Department of the Faculty of Science. Since 2006 he has been at the University of Kanagawa.

Sanda is known for his work on CP violation in B -meson system, where he worked with Ikaros Bigi. Your prediction of 1980, 2001 experimentally confirmed in "B - meson factories" at SLAC and at KEK in Japan ( the violation of the CP symmetry in the K- meson system had existed since 1964, by the Nobel Prize - winning work by James Cronin Val Fitch known). A CP wounding mechanism is necessary for the explanation of baryogenesis, the observed in the K- meson system effect is present after conviction but too small.

In 1993 he was awarded the Inoue Foundation, the 1997 Nishina Prize, the 2002 Chunichi Cultural Prize in Japan and in the autumn of the same year, the Japanese government Merit at the purple band. In 2002 he received the Mercator Visiting Professorship. In 2004 he was awarded the Sakurai Prize with Ikaros Bigi.
