Higgs praised the contribution of Soviet theoretical physicists in the Standard Model – Lenta.ru

Two Soviet theoretical physicists, Nobel laureate Peter Higgs (Peter Higgs) named involved in the discovery of the boson, named in his honor. This was a Scottish scientist said in an interview, “the Newspaper».

«In 1964, when I described boson, in addition to me, it took another five people. And as it turned out, while on a similar problem in the USSR worked Alexander Migdal and Alexander Polyakov. I only found out about it from Efim Fradkin in 1996 during a trip to CERN, “- said Higgs.

In an interview with the scientist also said his sympathy for Russia and attempts in his youth to learn Russian.

Advocated scientist and his relation to the upcoming referendum on the separation of Scotland from the United Kingdom. “In general, the referendum is carried out at the right time, but in the wrong slogans. The current British government – one of the most unpopular. But our elected government in Scotland must be ready to fulfill the promises. People vote, and nothing will change, “- said the physicist.

Alexander Polyakov

Migdal and Polyakov in 1966 published an article that discussed the spontaneous symmetry breaking in strong interactions (the Higgs boson is responsible for generating mass elekroslabom sector of the Standard Model of particles in a strong mass acquired principally at the expense of the well-known Einstein relation connecting the mass and energy of the particle).

In 1967, Migdal, together with Vladimir Gribov published an article which started the research applications of the theory of critical phenomena of strong interactions. It Gribov’s idea of ​​black hole evaporation, which the British scientist Stephen Hawking has learned after his visit to the USSR in 1973.
