  • Nanopoulos by Mcintyre
    Nanopoulos by McIntyre • Reprise of my laudation of Dimitri on the occasion of his Onassis Prize • Challenge to Dimitri for a fresh chapter of colliders A laudation of Dimitri Nanopoulus by Peter McIntyre I have known Dimitri Nanopoulos since 1975. At that time we were both at Harvard University. Dimitri was working with Steven Weinberg (Nobel 1979) and I with Carlo Rubbia (Nobel 1984). Dimitri and I entered the world of elementary particle physics at the time and the place of a true revolution in science - the advent of the gauge theories to describe the world of subatomic nature. The measure of a scientist is his choice of problems. Many scientists have keen intellects and mastery of the science of the day. But a challenging problem typically takes years of effort to master, and it is therefore imperative to choose those golden problems that have the potential to make a major breakthrough in how we view nature. By this highest of standards Dimitri has shown his mettle, not once but now several times over. • In 1990 Dimitri and his colleague John Ellis at CERN showed how one could use the newly conjectured gauge field of supersymmetry to unify the couplings of the three fields of nature that are at play within the nucleus: the strong field that binds the nucleus, the weak field that mediates radioactive decay, and the electromagnetic field that binds the atom and illuminates this picture. it had seemed that the strengths of these three corners of the subnuclear world behaved differently as they evolved from the Big Bang to our world of today.

(August 2005) Joel W. Walker, B.S., Harding University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Dimitri Nanopoulos Explored in this report is the essential interconnectedness of Grand Unified and String Theoretic Phenomenology. In order to extract a modeled connection to low-energy physics from the context of superstring theory, it is presently necessary to input some preferred region of parameter space in which to search. This need may be well filled by a parallel study of Grand Unification, which is by contrast in immediate proximity to a wealth of experimental data. The favored GUT so isolated may then reasonably transfer this phenomenological correlation to a string embedding, receiving back by way of trade a greater sense of primary motivation, and potentially enhanced predictability for parameters taken as input in a particle physics context.
