Mohammad Abdus Salam [4] [5] [6] NI(M) SPk (/ s æ ˈ l æ m /; pronounced [əbd̪ʊs səlaːm]; 29 January 1926 – 21 November 1996) [7] was a Pakistani theoretical physicist.He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg for his contribution to the electroweak unification theory. [8]
Weak neutral currents were predicted by electroweak theory developed mainly by Abdus Salam, John Clive Ward, Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg, [3] and confirmed shortly thereafter in 1973, in a neutrino experiment in the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN.
Year Portrait Laureate Subject Rationale 1979 Abdus Salam: Physics Awarded jointly to Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg – "for their contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including, inter alia, the prediction of the weak neutral current" [2] [3]
Sheldon Glashow, [1] Abdus Salam, [2] and Steven Weinberg [3] were awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to the unification of the weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, known as the Weinberg–Salam theory.
An event in which the electron and neutrino changes momentum and/or energy by exchange of the neutral Z 0 boson. Flavors are unaffected.. In a series of separate works in the 1960s Sheldon Glashow, Steven Weinberg, and Abdus Salam came up with a theory that unified electromagnetic and weak interaction between elementary particles—the electroweak theory—for which they shared the 1979 Nobel ...
In physics, the Pati–Salam model is a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) proposed in 1974 by Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati.Like other GUTs, its goal is to explain the seeming arbitrariness and complexity of the Standard Model in terms of a simpler, more fundamental theory that unifies what are in the Standard Model disparate particles and forces.
The Higgs mechanism was incorporated into modern particle physics by Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam, and is an essential part of the Standard Model. In the Standard Model, at temperatures high enough that electroweak symmetry is unbroken, all elementary particles are massless.
The first successful modern unified theory was the electroweak theory, developed by Abdus Salam, Steven Weinberg and, subsequently, Sheldon Glashow. This development culminated in the completion of the theory called the Standard Model in the 1970s, that included also the strong interaction, thus covering three fundamental forces.
