Meeting 2018, where he received the
PANDA Lifetime Membership Award.
On April 8th, 2024 our friend, colleague, teacher and mentor Helmut Koch has died.
It was a shocking moment for many of us when we realized that Helmut Koch is no longer with us. We learnt so much from him and knew him as an excellent scientist, teacher, mentor, leader and a very friendly person. We will always remember him for his gentle, human nature and for his numerous contributions to the field of hadron physics.
Many of us have stories with or about him to share or just want to express their feelings and thoughts.
Therefore we prepared an online Book of Condolences which we want to hand over at the end to his wife.
Please, slow down your daily routine for a moment and share some memories with us. You can do so very easily if you are logged in: Just follow this link. If you have photos from Helmut Koch, you can share them as well. They will be visible by PANDA users only, whereas the condolence text is readable for anybody.
In case of technical problems, please contact Udo.
