Carl R. Hagen
Carl Richard Hagen ( Richard Hagen ; born February 2, 1937 in Chicago ) is an American theoretical physicist.
Hagen is Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Rochester . He is best known for his contributions to the Standard Model and symmetry breaking as well as the co-discovery of the Higgs mechanism and Higgs bosons with Gerald Guralnik and TWB Kibble , independently of Peter Higgs and François Englert , Robert Brout . Hagen knew Guralnik from his studies at MIT.
The work received its final form when both were with Kibble at Imperial College London in 1964 . In the context of its 50th anniversary, the Physical Review Letters recognized this discovery as one of the milestone publications in its history.
In 2010 Hagen received the American Physical Society (APS) Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for elucidating the properties of spontaneous symmetry breaking in four-dimensional relativistic gauge theories and the mechanism for the consistent generation of vector-boson masses .
His research interests lie in the area of theoretical high-energy physics, especially in the area of quantum field theory . This includes the formulation and quantization of relativistic and non-relativistic field theories with higher spin. In recent years he has dealt with such topics as precisely solvable two-dimensional theories, Chern-Simons field theory, the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Casimir effect .
Hagen received his BS and MS in physics in 1958 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he received his PhD in 1962 on a topic of quantum electrodynamics with Ken Johnson. Since 1963 he taught as a professor of physics at the University of Rochester , where he was assistant professor in 1965, associate professor in 1968 and professor in 1974. Hagen has twice won the Prize for Excellence in Teaching at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester (1996 and 1999). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was named an Outstanding Referee by it in 2008.
