Hironari Miyazawa

Hironari Miyazawa (Japanese宫 沢 弘 成, Miyazawa Hironari; * 1927 in the prefecture of Tokyo) is a Japanese theoretical particle physicist.

Miyazawa studied physics at the University of Tokyo with the completion in 1950 and the PhD in 1953. As a post-doctoral researcher, he was from 1953 to 1955 at the University of Chicago in Gregor Wentzel and Enrico Fermi. 1955/56, he was at the Institute for Advanced Study ( also 1960/61 ). Then he went back to the University of Tokyo, where he received a full professorship in 1968. At times, he was the Director of The Laboratory for Mesonenphysik. After retirement, he went in 1988 at the University of Kanagawa and taught there until 1998.

During his stay in Chicago, he developed with Marvin Goldberger and Reinhard Oehme one named after them sum rule in the application of dispersion relations to pion Nukleonenstreuung.

He also wrote in the 1960's early works, in which supersymmetry was introduced between baryons and mesons, but these were largely ignored at the time and had no effect on the actual development of supersymmetry in the 1970s.

He has been a visiting professor in Chicago and at the University of Minnesota.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
