Harald Fritzsch

Harald Fritzsch is a theoretical physicist best known for his contributions to the understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory describing the strong force that binds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. He played a crucial role in developing the parton model, which simplifies the study of particle interactions by treating particles as collections of more fundamental constituents. Fritzsch’s work has enhanced our understanding of the fundamental particles and forces in the universe, bridging experimental observations and theoretical frameworks in particle physics. His ideas have shaped modern particle physics and contributed to the advancement of the standard model.
