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 master's degree from University of Illinois at Chicago in 1977 and her PhD from University of Cape Town in 1988 under the advisement of Raoul D. Viollier.[3][4] She studied muon-catalysed fusion and relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Returning from South Africa , Rafelski held a visiting position at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main where she worked with Berndt Müller.[5] In-between other appointments she was a scientific associate at CERN in the Data Handling Division.[6]
Her last position was as a computer science teacher at Catalina Foothills High School in Tucson.[7]
Helga Rafelski died of cancer in Tucson, November 2000.
