Show Nobel physics professor to teach two-week U course The winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize for Physics, Prof. Murray Gell-Mann, of the California Institute Insti-tute of Technology, will teach a two-week course March 2 to 13 at the University. He will also be the featured speaker for the Frontiers of Science program. Prof. Gell-Mann, the 28th American Amer-ican to win a Nobel Prize, received re-ceived it for "his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles par-ticles and their interaction." Among these was the quark, the smallest known particle. Prof. Gell-Mann is an adjunct professor of physics at the University Uni-versity because of the two-week courses he holds once or twice a year and because of his position as an advisor to the Department of Physics. Working In research since he was 25, Prof. Gell-Mann made a new discovery in 1961 that a mathematical math-ematical symmetry principle, known to scientists as SU(3), could be applied in elementary particle physics. From this theory he found he could predict the existence of new unknown particles. This led to discovery of a particle called the omega. |
