(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jean-Loup Delcroix was a French physicist, specializing in the physics of gases and plasmas. Biography Jean-Loup Delcroix received secondary education at Lycée Janson-de-Sailly in Paris and Lycée Champollion in Grenoble. He matriculated in 1944 at ENS Paris and graduated there in 1948 with outstanding rank in the agrégation in physics. He graduated in 1953 with a doctorate from the University of Paris. His thesis is entitled Étude des propriétés statiques des charges d'espace du type magnétron. Under the supervision of Yves Rocard, he participated in the construction and start-up of the linear accelerator at Orsay from 1952 until 1960. At Paris-Sud University he was a maître de conférences from 1960 to 1965 and a professor from 1965 to 1990, when he retired as professor emeritus. In 1960 Delcroix formed Paris-Sud University's Laboratoire de Physique des Gaz et des Plasmas , in association with the CNRS. He was the laboratory's director from 1960 to 1984. He made important contributions to the physics of gas discharges and low-temperature plasmas. During the early 1970s he led a research group on gas discharges with applications to gas laser physics.
