UNDER THE SPELL OF THE GAUGE PRINCIPLE - by G 't HooftThe
University of Bologna and its Academy of Sciences, in collaboration
with the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics and the
Italian Physical Society, celebrated in 1998 the bicentenary of a
great pioneer in the field of electric phenomena - Luigi Galvani,
the father of macroelectricity. During these two centuries, the
physics of electric phenomena has given rise first to the Maxwell
equations, then to quantum electrodynamics, and finally to the
synthesis of all reproducible phenomena, the "Standard Model". A
cornerstone of the Standard Model is quantum chromodynamics (QCD),
which describes the interaction between quarks and gluons in the
innermost part of the structure of matter.The discovery of QCD will
be recalled in the future as one of the greatest achievements of
mankind. Many physicists, the world over, have contributed to its
creation on both the experimental and the theoretical front.
Professor Antonino Zichichi has played an important role in this
scientific venture, as documented by his works which are reproduced
in this invaluable volume.One of the founders of European physics,
Professor Victor F Weisskopf, contributes with his memories of the
time when QCD had many problems. This volume owes its existence to
a founding father of QCD, Professor Vladimir N Gribov, whose sudden
demise prevented him from directly contributing to its final
edition. Two world leaders in subnuclear theoretical physics,
Professors Gerardus 't Hooft and Gabriele Veneziano, illustrate the
significance of the contributions of Antonino Zichichi in QCD.
