Valentine Louis "Val" Telegdi (Hungarian: Telegdi Bálint; 11 January 1922 – April 8, 2006) was a Hungarian-American physicist.[1][2][3][4] He was the Enrico Fermi Distinguished Service Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago before he moved to ETH Zürich.[3]
After retiring from ETH he divided his time between CERN and the California Institute of Technology. Telegdi chaired CERN's scientific policy committee from 1981 to 1983.[5] He was chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators, a working group of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, from 1983 to 1986.[6]
According to György Marx he was one of The Martians.[7]
Awards and honours
In 1991 he shared the Wolf Prize in Physics with Maurice Goldhaber "for their separate seminal contributions to nuclear and particle physics, particularly those concerning the weak interactions involving leptons".[8] He was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 2003.[1][9]
