standard model of particle physics
.
Education and career
After completing his education in Zwickau 1961, he became Soldier of the
Ph.D. under the supervision of Heinrich Mitter
.
In 1970 Fritzsch visited the
grand unified theory which has become a standard theory. In 1976 Fritzsch moved to CERN. After working for one year at the University of Wuppertal and the University of Bern, Fritzsch became professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich
in 1980.
Fritzsch worked also on "composite models" of leptons and quarks, mass matrices of quarks and leptons, weak decays of heavy quarks, cosmology and the fundamental constants of physics. He retired in 2008 and died 16 August 2022 in
München.[4]
In 1971 Fritzsch married Brigitte Goralski. They had two children.
