TitleSalam, Muhammad Abdus: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionCertificate of Election
CitationDistinguished for many contributions to quantum field theory. He developed a method for handling overlapping divergencies and proved that the renormalisation procedure of quantum electrodynamics could be extended to the meson-nucleon problem. He pointed out that the simplest form of a theory in which the neutrino mass was exactly zero involved the violation of parity, and he was the first, in this context, to examine the consequences of the two-component neutrino theory
