Peccei-Quinn Symmetry Theory; Quark-Hadron Duality

PecceiûQuinn Symmetry theory with Roberto Peccei-theory implies a corresponding symmetry of nature (related to matter-antimatter symmetry & the possible source of the dark matter that pervades the universe); Hierarchy of interactions in unified gauge theories; contributed to the search for a unified theory for the 3 types of particle interactions (strong electromagnetic & weak) suggesting they could be the result of one action; with Enrico Poggio & Steven Weinberg formulated the quark-hadron duality which showed how physics of quarks can be used to predict certain aspects of the physics of hadrons regardless of the details of the hadron's structure; worked on Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) & it has been adopted by 30 states & the District of Columbia as standard for K-12 science education
