Kenneth Douglas Lane is an American theoreticalparticle physicist and professor of physics atBoston University. Lane is best known for his role in the development ofextended technicolor models of physicsbeyond the Standard Model.[2]
Lane received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in physics at theGeorgia Institute of Technology, and was a student ofChung Wook Kim atJohns Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1970.[3][4]
His physics research focuses on the problems ofelectroweak andflavor symmetry breaking. WithEstia J. Eichten, Lane co-invented extended technicolor.[2] He and Eichten also contributed to early work oncharmonium withKurt Gottfried,Tom Kinoshita andTung-Mow Yan.[5][6][7]
In 1984 he coauthored "Supercollider Physics" (with Eichten,Ian Hinchliffe andChris Quigg), which has strongly influenced the quest for future discoveries at hadroncolliders such as the FermilabTevatron theSSC, and theLHC atCERN.[8] In 2011 Dr Lane withChris Quigg,Estia Eichten, andIan Hinchliffe won theJ. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics"For their work, separately and collectively, to chart a course of the exploration of TeV scale physics using multi-TeV hadron colliders"[9]
He was elected aFellow of the American Physical Society in 1990"for original contributions to the theory of electroweak symmetry breaking and Supercollider physics"[10]
