About Murray Gell-Mann
was an American theoretical physicist who played a preeminent role in the development of the theory of elementary particles. Gell-Mann introduced the concept of quarks as the fundamental building blocks of the strongly interacting particles, and the renormalization group
as a foundational element of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.
He played key roles in developing the concept of chirality in the theory of the weak interactions and
spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the strong interactions, which controls the physics of the light mesons. In the 1970s he was a co-inventor of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which explains the confinement of quarks in mesons and baryons and forms a large part of the Standard Model of elementary particles and forces.
Murray Gell-Mann received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles.
