Dr. Stefan Ritt is a prominent researcher and Group Leader of the Muon Physics group at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. With over 30 years of experience in particle physics, he has made significant contributions to muon decay experiments and detector development. His research focuses on precision measurements of muon properties and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. Ritt's primary research interests encompass particle physics, muon physics, detector development, and data acquisition systems. His work has been instrumental in advancing high-precision measurements of muon decay processes, particularly in the search for lepton flavor violation. He has pioneered developments in waveform digitizing technology, most notably through the Domino Ring Sampler (DRS) series of chips, which have revolutionized data acquisition in particle physics experiments. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on the MEG and MEG II experiments, which search for the rare decay μ+→e+γ. His work spans detector design, data acquisition systems, trigger implementation, and precision analysis techniques. The publications demonstrate expertise in liquid xenon detectors, silicon photomultipliers, timing resolution, and high-speed waveform digitization. 1984 Jugend Forscht Landessieger 2011 IEEE Senior Member 2016 IEEE Fellow for the development of the Domino Ring Sampler series of chips 2020 IEEE Emilio Gatti Radiation Instrumentation Technical Achievement Award for contributions to the development and democratization of ultra high-speed digitizers Ritt has served as a thesis examiner for institutions including INFN Pisa and ETH Zurich, demonstrating his role in academic mentoring. His leadership extends to coordinating beam time for PSI's secondary particle beam lines and organizing major international workshops. He has been instrumental in developing the Mu3e experiment and advancing muon beam technology at PSI. As head of the Muon Physics group (comprising 12 members), Ritt oversees fundamental particle physics experiments at PSI's secondary beam lines. His group is responsible for the design and implementation of data acquisition hardware and software for the MEG II experiment and serves as co-spokesperson for the Mu3e experiment.
