Valley Logsdon Fitch
Val Logsdon Fitch (March 10th 1923) is a American physicist Nobel Prize of physics in 1980
Fitch is born with Merriman in the Nebraska. During the Second world war he works on the Projet Manhattan. He obtains his license with the Université McGill in 1948 and his Ph.D. of the Université Columbia in 1954.
In 1964 Fitch and its colleague James Watson Cronin lead a series of experiments showing a Violation of symmetry CP in the case of the disintegration of the Kaon. Initially some doubts are emitted on the validity of the results or if these results could be interpreted without involving a violation of symmetry CP, but the experiment is reproduced rather quickly and a consensus is formed on the validity of interpretation. This discovery is worth in Fitch and Cronin the Nobel Prize of physics in 1980 “For the discovery of the violation of a basic principle of symmetry during disintegration of neutral K-mesons”
