Proper name

Etymology: Formulated by Roberto Peccei and Helen Quinn. Head templates: {{en-proper noun}} Peccei-Quinn theory
  1. (particle physics) A proposal for the resolution of the strong CP problem. It proposes that the QCD Lagrangian be extended with a CP-violating term known as the θ parameter, and that this should be a dynamic field rather than a constant value. It also predicts the existence of particles called axions. Wikipedia link: Helen Quinn, Peccei-Quinn theory, Roberto Peccei Tags: particle Categories (topical): Particle physics
