Hironari Miyazawa

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hironari Miyazawa ( Japanese 宮 沢 弘 成 , Miyazawa Hironari ; * 1927 in Tokyo Prefecture ) is a Japanese theoretical elementary particle physicist.

Miyazawa studied physics at the University of Tokyo with a degree in 1950 and a doctorate in 1953. As a post-doctoral student he was at the University of Chicago from 1953 to 1955 with Gregor Wentzel and Enrico Fermi . In 1955/56 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study (also 1960/61). Then he went back to the University of Tokyo, where he received a full professorship in 1968. At times he was director of the meson physics laboratory there. After retiring, he went to Kanagawa University in 1988 and taught there until 1998.

During his stay in Chicago he developed with Marvin Goldberger and Reinhard Oehme one named after them sum rule in the application of dispersion relations to the pion - Nukleonenstreuung .

He also wrote early papers in the 1960s in which a supersymmetry between baryons and mesons was introduced, but these were mostly ignored at the time and had no influence on the actual development of supersymmetry in the 1970s.

Among other things, he was visiting professor in Chicago and at the University of Minnesota .

He is a fellow of the American Physical Society .
