196220129Lancaster PA: American Institute of Physics 1962. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. First Edition. 2 1130 pages. Light brown buckram binding with gilt spine lettering bumped at head of spine. Physical Review 125 Jan-Feb 1962 entire volume offered. Ex-library properly de-accessioned with minor markings. Cloth. This volume contains the article "Symmetries of Baryons and Mesons" by Murray Gell-Mann found on pages 1067-1084. Gell-Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1969 "for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions". This paper demonstrates the "introduction of SU3 single-octet structure of the known mesons and octet-decuplet structure for the baryons. and predicts the Omega- Hyperon" There is one earlier introduction of these concepts in a private institutional paper CTSL-20 which while quite rare was printed separately and later reprinted in "The Eightfold Way: A Review" much later 1964. As such this is the earliest obtainable and best work related to the Gell-Mann's Nobel Prize. See Ezhela et al pgs 181 and 186-7. American Institute of Physics unknown books
245Lancaster PA and New York NY: American Inst. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Fine. FIRST EDITION of Murray Gell-Mann's Nobel-Prize winning work on the discovery of the "Eightfold Way" "Gell-Mann as naturalist collector and categorizer was well primed to interpret the exploding particle universe of the 1960s. New technology in the accelerators- liquid hydrogen bubble chambers and computers for automating the analysis of collision tracks- seemed to have spilled open a bulky canvas bag from which nearly a hundred distinct particles had now tumbled forth. Gell-Mann and independently an Israeli theorist Yuval Ne'eman found a way in 1961 to organize the various symmetries of spins and strangeness into a single scheme. It was a group in the mathematicians' sense of the word known as SU3 though Gell-Mann quickly and puckishly dubbed it the Eightfold Way. It was like an intricate translucent object which when held to the light would reveal families of eight or ten or possibly twenty-seven particles- and they would be different though overlapping families depending on which way one chose to view it. The Eightfold Way was a new periodic table- the previous century's triumph in classifying and thus exposing the hidden regularities in a similar number of disparate 'elements.' But it was also a more dynamic object. The operations of group theory were like special shuffles of a deck of cards or the twists of a Rubik's cube. "Much of SU3's power came from the way it embodied a concept increasingly central to the high-energy theorist's way of working: the concept of inexact symmetry almost symmetry near symmetry or- the term that won out- broken symmetry. The particle world was full of near misses in its symmetries a dangerous problem since it seemed to permit an ad hoc escape route whenever an expected relationship failed to match. Broken symmetry implied a process a change in status. Many of the broken symmetries of particle physics came to seem like choices the universe made when it condensed from a hot chaos into cooler matter spiked as it is with so many hard-edged asymmetrical contingencies. "Once again Gell-Mann trusted his scheme enough to predict as a consequence of broken symmetry a specific hitherto-unseen particle. This the omega minus duly turned up in 1964- a thirty-three-experimenter team had to canvass more than one million feet of photographs- and Gell-Mann's Nobel Prize followed five years later" James Gleick Genius. Particle Physics One Hundred Years of Discoveries: "Introduction of the SU3 singlet-octet structure of the known mesons and octet-decuplet structure for the baryons. Prediction of the Ω- hyperon. Nobel prize to M. Gell-Mann awarded in 1969 'for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their reactions'." NOTE: Gell-Mann first introduced the concept of the Eightfold Way in a 1961 Cal. Inst. Tech Report CTSL-20 before developing his ideas more fully in his famous paper in The Physical Review.

Ex library rubber stamps those on edges obscured. Ownership name in gilt on top cover. Very good. FIRST EDITION. Gell-Mann's paper is the last in a series presented at a Conference on Weak Interactions held at Gatlinburg Tennessee October 27-29 1958 in which Gell-Mann summarizes the current state of knowledge about weak interactions. In the 1950s physicists - using particle accelerators which fired beams of particles at stationary targets measured particles created by the resulting collisions - had created many more kinds of subatomic particles than the protons neutrons and electrons with which they were familiar. As the number of particles grew several were found to exhibit what was called "strange" behavior. The rate at which they were created in certain collisions with other particles suggested that their behavior was governed by the strong nuclear force which characteristically acts very rapidly. The strong force the weak nuclear force electromagnetism and gravity make up the four fundamental forces that are believed to underlie all phenomena. The strange particles took a surprisingly long time to decay however which should not have been the case if they were governed by the strong force. The rate at which they decayed seemed to indicate that this process was governed by the much slower weak force. Murray Gell-Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1969 "for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions." - Wasson Nobel Prize winners pp. 370-372. Murray Gell-Mann joined the faculty of the California Institute of Technology in 1955 as an associate professor; the following year he became a full professor and in 1967 he was named Robert A. Millikan Professor of Physics. Reviews of Modern Physics, Vol. 31, No. 3, July, 1959. hardcover books
