Gauge Theories Of Strong, Weak, And Electromagnetic Interactions

Chris Quigg is internationally known for his studies of heavy quarks and his insights into electroweak symmetry breaking and particle interactions at ultrahigh energies. He has been a visiting professor at Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, Cornell University, and Princeton University; Erwin Schrodinger Professor at the University of Vienna; and Scholar-in-Residence at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Study and Conference Center in Italy. He has served on the faculties of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the University of Chicago. A member of the Fermilab staff since 1974, Dr. Quigg was for ten years Head of the Laboratory's Theoretical Physics Department. He received his B.S. degree from Yale University in 1966 and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1970. He is Editor of the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science.
