Kyungsik Kang
Biography
Professor Kang graduated from Seoul National University in 1959, where he received the SNU President's Award (Gold Medal). He then received the Ph.D. degree from Indiana University in 1964. A professor of physics for 41 years, Prof. Kang retired from teaching in 2005.
Professor Kang's influence extended beyond national borders. He was a fellow of The American Physical Society, The Korea Academy of Science and Technology, the Korean Association for the Advancement of Sciences, and the Korean Physical Society. His international recognition was further solidified by his service as president of the Seoul National University Alumni Association in New England and the National Association of Korean Schools. He served on the board of directors for the R.I. Korean American Association, the Korea-U.S. Science Cooperation Center and was a council member of the Advisory Council for Democratic and Peaceful Re-Unification of Korea. Prof. Kang was awarded The Cameliia Medal (Legion of Honor) from the Government of Korea, an Official Citation from the State of RI, and the Honorary Citizenship Award (as an Exceptional Overseas Korean) from The Metropolitan Government of Seoul, Korea.

New class of quark mass matrix and calculability of the flavor mixing matrix
K Kang, SK Kang - Physical Review D, 1997 - APS
We discuss a new general class of mass matrix Ansatz that respects the fermion mass
hierarchy and calculability of the flavor mixing matrix. This is a generalization and justification of …

Bounds on the soft pomeron intercept
JR Cudell, K Kang, SK Kim - Physics Letters B, 1997 - Elsevier
The Donnachie-Landshoff fit of total cross sections has now become a standard reference for
models of total, elastic and diffractive cross-sections. Adopting their philosophy that simple-…

Effects of η′ in Low-energy Axion Physics
K Choi, K Kang, JE Kim - Physics Letters B, 1986 - Elsevier
The low-energy dynamics of the axion is considered, taking into account the effects of the
ninth SU (3) singlet pseudo-scalar meson and of the instanton physics. It is found that it …

Almost maximally broken permutation symmetry for neutrino mass matrix
K Kang, SK Kang, JE Kim, P Ko - Modern Physics Letters A, 1997 - World Scientific
Assuming three light neutrinos are Majorana particles, we propose mass matrix ansatz for the
charged leptons and Majorana neutrinos with family symmetry S 3 broken into S 1 and S 2 …

High energy QCD from Planckian scattering in AdS space and the Froissart bound
K Kang, H Nastase - Physical Review D, 2005 - APS
We reanalyze high-energy QCD scattering regimes from scattering in cutoff AdS space via
gravity-gauge dualities (a la Polchinski-Strassler). We look at’t Hooft scattering, Regge …

Theory of Low-Energy Scattering
K Kang - Physical Review, 1964 - APS
We make a self-contained examination of the π− π scattering problem on the basis of the S-matrix
conjecture, using analyticity, elastic unitarity, and crossing symmetry. The crossing-…

Models for hadron-hadron scattering at high energies and rising total cross sections
K Kang, B Nicolescu - Physical Review D, 1975 - APS
The recent results of rising total cross sections for π±p, K±p, and pp scattering are analyzed
by two simple analytic models for high-energy forward scattering which are derived from …

Collider diffractive threshold, hadronic photons, and sextet quarks
K Kang, AR White - Physical Review D, 1990 - APS
We construct a simple dispersion-relation model to fit recent collider results on the total cross
section and the elastic-amplitude real part. We find there should be a genuine physical …

A simple modification of the maximal mixing scenario for three light neutrinos
K Kang, JE Kim, P Ko - Zeitschrift für Physik C: Particles and Fields, 1996 - Springer
We suggest a simple modification of the maximal mixing scenario (withS 3 permutation
symmetry) for three light neutrinos. Our neutrino mass matrix has smaller permutation symmetryS …

Duality and single-particle production
CE DeTar, K Kang, CI Tan, JH Weis - Physical Review D, 1971 - APS
Following Mueller, we relate the single-particle production cross section for the process a+ b→
x+ anything to a discontinuity of the six-line amplitude a+ b+ x→ a+ b+ x. Using the dual-…
