Helga E. Rafelski

Helga Ernestine Rafelski, (née Betz) (3 September 1949 - 5 November 2000[1]) was a German particle physicist. She got her professional degree from Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main,[2] her masters degree from University of Illinois at Chicago in 1977 and her PhD from University of Cape Town in 1988.[3][4] She studied muon-catalysed fusion and relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
