AB  - Professor Tom Kibble was an internationally-renowned theoretical physicistwhose contributions to theoretical physics range from the theory of elementaryparticles to modern early-universe cosmology. The unifying theme behind all hiswork is the theory of non-abelian gauge theories, the Yang-Mills extension ofelectromagnetism. One of Kibble's most important pieces of work in this areawas his study of the symmetry-breaking mechanism whereby the force-carryingvector particles in the theory can acquire a mass accompanied by the appearanceof a massive scalar boson. This idea, put forward independently by Brout andEnglert, by Higgs and by Guralnik, Hagen and Kibble in 1964, and generalised byKibble in 1967, lies at the heart of the Standard Model and all modern unifiedtheories of fundamental particles. It was vindicated in 2012 by the discoveryof the Higgs boson at CERN. According to Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg, "TomKibble showed us why light is massless"; this is the fundamental basis ofelectromagnetism.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
