Oscar Wallace Greenberg
Oscar Wallace Greenberg (born February 18, 1932 in New York City ) is an American physicist , best known for introducing the color charge . He deals with elementary particle physics and quantum field theory .
Greenberg studied at Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in 1952 and at Princeton University with a master's degree in 1954 and a doctorate in 1957. In 1956/57 he was an instructor at Brandeis University , and from 1957 to 1959 as a lieutenant at Air Force Cambridge Research Center and from 1959 to 1961 as a post-graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 1961 he became Assistant Professor , 1963 Associate Professor and 1967 Professor at the University of Maryland .
He was 1964/65 at the Institute for Advanced Study and Visiting Professor at the Rockefeller University (1965-66), at the Weizmann Institute (1968-69), at the Johns Hopkins University (1977/78) and visiting scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA (1977/78), at the Fermilab (1984/85) and Enrico Fermi Institute of the University of Chicago and at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (2006/7).
Greenberg introduced the color charge in 1964, soon after the quarks were postulated , to explain why they can exist in some hadrons (with otherwise identical quantum states) without violating the Pauli principle as fermions .
He is a fellow of the American Physical Society . 1964 to 1966 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and 1968/69 Guggenheim Fellow . In 1971 he received the Physics Prize from the Washington Academy of Sciences .
He has been married to Pearl Katz since 1999 and has three sons.
