Kenneth Lane

Education

In physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and was a student of Chung Wook Kim at Johns Hopkins University, where he received his Doctor of Philosophy in 1970.

Career

Lane is best known for his role in the development of extended technicolor models of physics beyond the Standard Model. Lane received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science His physics research focuses on the problems of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking.

With Estia J. Eichten, Lane co-invented extended technicolor.

He and Eichten also contributed to early work on charmonium with Kurt Gottfried, Tom Kinoshita and Tung-Mow Yan. In 1984 he coauthored "Supercollider Physics" (with Eichten, Ian Hinchliffe and Chris Quigg), which has strongly influenced the quest for future discoveries at hadron colliders such as the Fermilab Tevatron the SSC, and the LHC at European Organization of Nuclear Research.

Achievements

• In 2011 Doctor Lane with Chris Quigg, Estia Eichten, and Ian Hinchliffe won the J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics "Foreign their work, separately and collectively, to chart a course of the exploration of TeV scale physics using multi-TeV hadron colliders".
