ZAGREB, Nov 12 (Hina) - Young Croatian scientist Goran Duplancic
and his mentor Bene Nizic, both theoretical physicists at Zagreb's Rudjer
Boskovic Institute, have managed to improve one of the most important
mathematical methods of studying processes in the physics of elementary
particles known as "the hard scattering approach", the Institute announced last
week. The hard scattering approach is used in studying strong
nuclear forces, including those enabling strong interactions between protons
and neutrons in atomic nuclei.
The theory of strong forces began to be developed in the 1970s.
American physicists David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek received the
Nobel Prize for Physics in 2004 for its discovery and development.
The work of the Croatian physicists was published in the latest issue
of the world's leading physics journal, Physical Review Letters.
