  1. Eightfold way (physics) - Wikipedia

    • In physics, the eightfold way is an organizational scheme for a class of subatomic particles known as hadrons that led to the development of the quark model. Both the American physicist Murray Gell-Mann and the Israeli physicist Yuval Ne'eman independently and simultaneously proposed the idea in 1961. The name comes from Gell-Mann's (1961) … See more

    Background

    By 1947, physicists believed that they had a good understanding of what the smallest bits of matter were. There were

    Organization

    Group representation theory is the mathematical underpinning of the eightfold way, but that rather technical mathematics is not needed to understand how it helps organize particles. Particles are sorted into groups as … See more

    Historical development

    Historically, quarks were motivated by an understanding of flavour symmetry. First, it was noticed (1961) that groups of particles were related to each other in a way that matched the representation theory of SU(3). From that, i… See more

    Flavor symmetry

    There is an abstract three-dimensional vector space:
    and the laws of physics are approximately invariant under a determinant-1 unitary transformation to this space (sometimes called a fla… See more

  3. What Is the Eightfold Way? - Duke University

    Using the Eightfold Way, the -minus mass (1672 MeV), spin (3/2), strangeness (-3), quantum number (0), and charge (-1) were accurately predicted. How is this possible? The axes on the graph predict what quantum number and …

  4. Unraveling the Confusion: the Eightfold Way

    They realized that many of the known particle could be fit into a series of families based on an abstract mathematical construct (called the su(3) group). Gell-Mann called this the Eightfold Way , after the Buddha's eightfold path to truth.
