C. R. Hagen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Richard Hagen is a professor of particle physics at the University of Rochester. He is most noted for his co-discovery of the Higgs mechanism and Higgs boson with Gerald Guralnik and Tom W. B. Kibble ^[1].

Professor Hagen's research interests are in the field of Theoretical High Energy Physics, primarily in the area of quantum field theory. Work in recent years has been concerned with such topics as the soluble two dimensional theories, Chern-Simons field theory, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and the Casimir effect.

Hagen received his S.B. and S.M. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1958 and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1962. He then took a research associate position at the University of Rochester and was made an Assistant Professor of Physics in 1965. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1968, and to Professor in 1974. Professor Hagen won the Award for Excellence in Teaching, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester twice (in 1996 and 1999).
