Roberto Peccei is an Italian physicist known for his contributions to theoretical physics, particularly in the fields of particle physics and cosmology. He is recognized for his work on the Peccei-Quinn theory, which was proposed in the 1970s to solve the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The Peccei-Quinn mechanism introduces a new global symmetry that leads to the existence of a hypothetical particle called the axion, which is a candidate for dark matter.
