Reference excerpt

Martin B. Einhorn (14 August 1942) is an American theoretical physicist.

Education and career Einhorn received in 1965 his B.S. with honors from Caltech and in 1968 his Ph.D. from Princeton University under Marvin Leonard Goldberger. After postdoctoral positions at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), he became a staff physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). In 1976, he joined the faculty of the physics department of the University of Michigan where he was eventually promoted to full professor and retired as professor emeritus in 2004. He was a visiting professor at NORDITA, SLAC, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Centre de physique des particules de Marseille (CPPM), and Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheva. In the 1990s he was on the Sakurai Prize selection committee.

His research publications span topics in the parton model, perturbative and nonperturbative QCD, cosmology, Higgs physics, supersymmetric grand unification, mass singularities and their consequences, and extended technicolor models. His primary interest is in physics beyond the Standard Model. Einhorn is an emeritus research professor of UCSB's Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and was the Institute's Deputy Director from 1990 to 1992 and from 2004 to 2013. Einhorn worked as an Associate Director at University of California Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) from 2011 to 2014.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Martin B. Einhorn

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Martin B. Einhorn claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Martin B. Einhorn before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Martin B. Einhorn ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Martin B. Einhorn

In research: Martin B. Einhorn appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Martin B. Einhorn in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Martin B. Einhorn is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1942 births, 21st-century American physicists, American particle physicists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Martin B. Einhorn outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
