Frank Wilczek

Frank Wilczek (May 15th 1951) is a American physicist Nobel Prize of physics with H. David Politzer and David Gross in 2004 “for the discovery of the asymptotic Liberté in the theory of the strong Interaction”.

Biography

Wilczek is born with Mineola in the state from New York parents of Polish and Italian origin. He studies in a public school of the Queens. He obtains a Bachelor off Science of Mathématiques to the Université of Chicago in 1970, then a Master off Arts (1972) in the same discipline and a doctorate of Physique (1974) to Princeton. He holds the pulpit Hermann Feshbach center of theoretical physics of the MIT then works with the Institute for Advanced Study and with the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics of the the University of California with Santa Barbara. He receives the Médaille Lorentz in 2002.

He Marie with Betsy Guesses the July 3rd 1973.

Research

In 1973, during its doctorate, Wilczek working with David Gross with the University of Princeton, discovers that the asymptotic Liberté, more of the Quark S is close, more the strong Interaction (or the Charge of color) is weak. In the extreme case the nuclear force between them is so weak that the quarks behave almost like free particles. The theory, independently discovered not H. David Politzer, was essential to the development of the quantum Chromodynamique.

Wilczek discovers or development assistance of the Axion S, the Anyon S, the asymptotic Liberté, the Supraconductivité of color in the hypothetical form of degenerated Matière being able to appear with the top of the Limite of Oppenheimer-Volkoff, and other aspects of the quantum Chromodynamique. He works on several fields, Physique of the condensed matter, Astrophysique and Physique of the particles.
