Known for Quark-gluon plasma; gauge theory texts

Berndt Müller (also Berndt Mueller; born 8 February 1950) is a German-born theoretical physicist specializing in nuclear physics.[1]

Career and work

Müller is James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Physics at Duke University. His work focuses on nuclear matter at extreme energy density and on the quark-gluon plasma predicted by quantum chromodynamics.[2]

He was educated in Germany, received his doctorate under Walter Greiner, and moved from Frankfurt to Duke in 1990, partly in connection with the developing physics program around relativistic heavy-ion collisions.[1][3]

His research interests include the formation and detection of the quark-gluon plasma, chaotic dynamics in elementary particle fields, and symmetry-violating processes in the early universe.[2]

Selected works

  • The Physics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (1985).
  • Gauge Theory of Weak Interactions (with Walter Greiner).
  • Chaos and Gauge Field Theory (with T. S. Biro and S. G. Matinyan, 1994).
