{"product_id":"9789814618120","title":"50 Years of Quarks","description":"\u003cp\u003eToday it is known that the atomic nuclei are composed of smaller constituents, the quarks. A quark is always bound with two other quarks, forming a baryon or with an antiquark, forming a meson. The quark model was first postulated in 1964 by Murray Gell-Mann — who coined the name “quark” from James Joyce's novel \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e — and by George Zweig, who then worked at CERN. In the present theory of strong interactions — Quantum Chromodynamics proposed by H Fritzsch and Gell-Mann in 1972 — the forces that bind the quarks together are due to the exchange of eight gluons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the 50th anniversary of the quark model, this invaluable volume looks back at the developments and achievements in the elementary particle physics that eventuated from that beautiful model. Written by an international team of distinguished physicists, each of whom have made major developments in the field, the volume provides an essential overview of the present state to the academics and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Schematic Model of Baryons and Mesons \u003ci\u003e(M Gell-Mann)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarks \u003ci\u003e(M Gell-Mann)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete Quarks \u003ci\u003e(G Zweig)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Way from Sakatons to Quarks \u003ci\u003e(L B Okun)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Life with Quarks \u003ci\u003e(S L Glashow)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarks and the Bootstrap Era \u003ci\u003e(D Horn)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Symmetries to Quarks and Beyond \u003ci\u003e(S Meshkov)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow I Got to Work with Feynman on the Covariant Quark Model \u003ci\u003e(F Ravndal)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is a Quark? \u003ci\u003e(G L Kane \u0026amp; M J Perry)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsights and Puzzles in Particle Physics \u003ci\u003e(H Leutwyler)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarks and QCD \u003ci\u003e(H Fritzsch)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Discovery of Gluon \u003ci\u003e(J Ellis)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery of the Gluon \u003ci\u003e(S L Wu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Parton Model and Its Applications \u003ci\u003e(T M Yan \u0026amp; S D Drell)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Old Symmetries to New Symmetries: Quark, Leptons and B — L \u003ci\u003e(R N Mohapatra)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuark Mass Hierarchy and Flavor Mixing Puzzles \u003ci\u003e(Z-Z Xing)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalytical Determination of the QCD Quark Masses \u003ci\u003e(C Dominquez)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCP Violation in Six Quarks Scheme — Legacy of Sakata Model \u003ci\u003e(M Kobayashi)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Constituent-Quark Model — Nowadays \u003ci\u003e(W Plessas)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Ω\u003csup\u003e-\u003c\/sup\u003e to Ω\u003ci\u003e\u003csub\u003eb\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, Doubly Heavy Baryons and Exotics \u003ci\u003e(M Karliner)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuark Elastic Scattering as a Source of High Transverse Momentum Mesons \u003ci\u003e(R Field)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive Processes and the Fundamental Structure of Hadrons \u003ci\u003e(S J Brodsky)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuark-Gluon Soup — The Perfectly Liquid Phase of QCD \u003ci\u003e(U Heinz)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarks and Anomalies \u003ci\u003e(R J Crewther)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLessons from Supersymmetry: \"Instead-of-Confinement\" Mechanism \u003ci\u003e(M Shifman\u0026amp;A Yung)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarks and a Unified Theory of Nature Fundamental Forces \u003ci\u003e(I Antoniadis)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSU(8) Family Unification with Boson-Fermion Balance \u003ci\u003e(S L Adler)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Academics and researchers interested in elementary particle physics.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185303339248,"sku":"9789814618120","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814618120_p0.jpg?v=1763692033","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814618120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
