C. R. Hagen

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 (God Particle) with Gerald Guralnik and Tom Kibble [ [http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v13/i20/p585_1 Global Conservation Laws and Massless Particles] ] . As part of Physical Review Letters 50th anniversary celebration, the journal recognized this discovery as one of the milestone papers in PRL history [ [http://prl.aps.org/50years/milestones Physical Review Letters - 50th Anniversary Milestone Papers] ] .

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 B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in physics from MIT. He has been a professor of physics at the University of Rochester since 1963. Professor Hagen won the Award for Excellence in Teaching, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester twice (in 1996 and 1999).
