Jack Steinberger (1920-2020) – in memoriam on the third anniversary of his death

Jack Hans Steinberger (1921- 2020) was an outstanding experimental particle physicist. Among his discoveries/ measurements are proof of the three-body decay of a muon (PhD 1949 ), the discovery of the π0 meson, practical implementation of the bubble chambers as a tool for accelerator physics (BNL 195-1963), experimental discovery of the difference between muon and electron neutrinos (Nobel Prize 1988 with L. Lederman and M. Schwarz), a plethora of precise measurements of the mixing and CPV in the neutral kaon system (Columbia and CERN), precise measurements of neutrino interactions with iron. (CDHS(W) experiment), ALEPH experiment at LEP.I worked with Jack in the CHSW neutrino experiment during the 1979-1989 decade. I learned from him a lot. At the third anniversary of His death, I would like to give a commemorative talk discussing His experimental heritage, focusing on the not so well known earlier results.
