Abstract:
The status of particle theory just before the SLAC experiment in 1968 is discussed. The revolution caused by the SLAC experiment and the path to QCD are reviewed. Finally, a personal account of the major activities now being pursued in QCD is given.
Bio:
Alfred H. Mueller is the Enrico Fermi Professor of Physics at Columbia University.
Mueller studied at Iowa State University, receiving a Bachelor's Degree in 1961 and in 1965 completed his PhD at MIT. He then served as a post-doc at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1965 to 1967 before becoming a staff member there from 1967 to 1971. Since 1972 he has been at Columbia University. He was also a visiting scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study (1975), at the nuclear research centers in Saclay, the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, New York University, and at SLAC.
Among other subjects, Mueller studied the high-order perturbation theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and tests of QCD "hard" scattering processes of hadrons and QCD in nuclear physics and heavy ion collisions. Mueller is a founding father of the field of parton saturation, a theoretically well established idea that the occupation numbers of small-x quarks and gluons cannot become arbitrarily large in the wave function of a hadron or nucleus.
He was a Sloan Research Fellow in 1972 and a Guggenheim Fellow in 1988. In 2003 he received with George Sterman the Sakurai Prize for the development of concepts of perturbative QCD.
