Horst Schmidt-Böcking (born 1939)
Horst Schmidt-Böcking studied physics at the universities of Würzburg and Heidelberg. He became a university lecturer in 1974 and, in 1977, a temporary professor at the Institut für Kernphysik (IKF) at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. He worked at the Hahn-Meitner Institute from 1980 to 1982 and was appointed a professor at the University of Frankfurt in 1982, where he remained until his retirement in 2004. His main research areas included the spectroscopy of slow recoil ions, which led to the development of the COLTRIMS method. The COLTRIMS reaction microscope was later developed into a multi-fragment imaging technique, enabling simultaneous measurement of electron and ion momenta with high momentum resolution in a multi-coincidence setup.
He received several prestigious awards, including the Max Planck Research Award in 1991, the Davisson-Germer Prize from the American Physical Society in 2008, and was made an honorary member of the Physical Society in Frankfurt in 2008. He was also awarded the Federal Cross of Merit (1st class) in 2009 and the Stern-Gerlach Medal in 2010. In 2018, he was granted an honorary doctorate from the University of Kassel, and in 2023, he became an honorary member of the DPG.

Klaus Blaum (born 1971)
Klaus Blaum studied physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. After completing his PhD at Mainz, he moved as a postdoctoral researcher from GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt to CERN in Geneva. From 2004 to 2007, he led a Helmholtz research group in Mainz, where he habilitated in 2006. In 2007, at the age of 35, he was appointed Director of the "Stored and Cooled Ions" department at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. He is also a professor and member of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg.
For his groundbreaking work, Klaus Blaum has received numerous awards, including the Gustav-Hertz-Prize in 2004 from the German Physical Society, the Mattauch-Herzog Prize in 2005 from the German Society for Mass Spectrometry, the Helmholtz Prize for Precision Measurement in 2012, the G.N. Flerov Prize in 2013, and the Lise-Meitner Prize for Nuclear Physics in 2020 from the European Physical Society. Since 2008, he has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society and, since 2019, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. On July 1, 2020, the Senate of the Max Planck Society elected Klaus Blaum as the new Scientific Vice President for the Chemical-Physical-Technological Section of the MPG. In November 2021, he was awarded the Otto Hahn Prize 2021 by the city of Frankfurt. Since September 2022, he has been a member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and, since November 2022, an honorary member of the Physical Society (Frankfurt am Main). In March 2019, he received an "Advanced Grant" from the European Research Council (ERC) for testing fundamental interactions.
