Alan Chodos

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alan Chodos (born August 19, 1943 in Montreal ) is a Canadian theoretical physicist.

Chodos graduated from McGill University with a bachelor's degree in 1964 and received a PhD in physics from Cornell University in 1970. As a post-doctoral student he was at the University of Pennsylvania and from 1973 to 1976 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . From 1976 he was at Yale University and then at the American Physical Society (APS), where he became Associate Executive Officer in 2000 and chaired the Committee for Publications.

In the 1970s, Chodos was one of the authors (with Victor Weisskopf , Kenneth A. Johnson , Robert L. Jaffe , Charles Thorn ) of the MIT bag model of hadrons, a simplified model of hadrons as quarks locked in a volume with perturbation-theoretical quantum chromodynamics residue -Interaction.

In the early 1980s he investigated Kaluza-Klein theories . He also advocated a theory that neutrinos were tachyons .

In 1994 he became a Fellow of the APS. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
