  • Kenneth Geddes Wilson, 1936-2013, an Appreciation
    Kenneth Geddes Wilson, 1936-2013, An Appreciation Leo P. Kadanoff∗ The Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and The James Franck Institute The University of Chicago Chicago, IL USA July 22, 2013 Abstract Kenneth G. Wilson made deep and insightful contributions to statisti- cal physics, particle physics, and related fields. He was also a helpful and thoughtful human being. arXiv:1307.0152v1 [physics.hist-ph] 29 Jun 2013 ∗e-mail: [email protected] 1 Ken’s accomplishments in physics started with contributions to particle physics[1, 2, 3, 4], work done mostly at Cal Tech, Harvard, SLAC, CERN, and Cornell. In about 1970, he realized the close connection between approaches that could be used in particle physics and those that could be applied to the statistical mechanics of phase transitions. The latter area had a rich experimen- tal, anaytical and numerical tradition, so that many theoretical results could be verified or disproven by comparison with known results. I shall mostly focus here upon the statistical work, since I am not fully qualified to evaluate contributions to particle theory. The focus upon phase transitions produced a set of remarkably important contribution to physics via the synthesis and construction of the modern renor- malization group technique[4, 5, 6, 7]. Wilson used the threads of many previous authors, but wove them together with several essential pieces of his own inven- tion. The first of these new contributions was his inclusion of all the different interaction terms consonant with the symmetries of the problem under consid- eration. In addition he made innovative use of the fixed point concept to tie together the entire analysis.

    103 COSMOLOGY AND THE NEUTRON ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT John Ellis CERN - Geneva ABSTRACT There is a contribution to the neutron electric dipole moment d from the CP violating e vacuum parameter of QCD. Diagrams analogous to thosg responsible for the baryon number of the universe also contribute to e, providing an order of magnitude lower bound on dn in terms of the baryon-to-photon ratio n8!ny · GUTs sufficiently complicated to explain the observed nBlny predict that dn should be close to the present experimental upper limit. The comparison between dn and n8!ny gives us information about entropy generation after the epoch of baryon generation in the very early Universe . 104 1. - INTRODUCTION l) 2) Much experimental effort , has been devoted to the search for an electric dipole moment of the neutron, d which violates CP .

  • History of Physics Septembe
    Forum on History of Physics September 1999 Newsletter History of Physics Newsletter Volume VII, No. 5, Sept. 1999 Forum Chair From the Editor Announcements APS & AIP News Book Review Reports Forum News RESPONSIBILITIES OF HISTORIANS OF PHYSICS This past year, under the leadership of Roger Stuewer, has been one of enormous success for the Forum. At the Centennial Meeting of the American Physical Society in Atlanta, the Forum sponsored three sessions-two on physics in the twentieth century and one on I.I. Rabi - and cosponsored two others. These sessions were both intellectual and popular successes. I attended each one, and I was informed, enlightened, entertained, and moved. I have no words to describe my feelings as I listened to ninety-two year old Hans Bethe reminiscing about his friend and colleague I.I. Rabi. It was magic. You had to have been there. This year we have a chance to build on this success. In addition to our usual symposia at the March and April meetings, we will have contributed paper sessions on the history of physics at the April meeting in Long Beach, California. The leadership of the APS has recognized that historical work does not fit conveniently into the 10-minute contributed paper format, and they have allowed us, as an experiment, to have 20-minute contributed papers. I encourage you to submit abstracts for our contributed paper sessions at the April meeting (January 7, 2000 deadline). This is a chance to show our colleagues the good work done by members of the Forum. I'd also like to take this opportunity to preach a little.
