Description

This Cambridge University Press scholarly work traces the conceptual evolution that led to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), one of the most significant scientific developments of the twentieth century. The book examines the crucial intellectual steps underlying QCD's emergence in the early 1970s, set against the backdrop of contemporary debates between the bootstrap approach and composite modeling, as well as tensions between mathematical and realistic interpretations of quarks. Through historical analysis and detailed exploration of current algebra, high-energy experiments, model-building techniques, and mathematical frameworks, the author synthesises the key conceptual breakthroughs that transformed particle physics and established QCD as a foundational theory in modern physics.

Key Features

Examines the historical origins of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) emerging from current algebra foundations in the 1970s.

Explores pivotal debates between bootstrap and composite modeling approaches within twentieth-century particle physics.

Analyses the role of high-energy experiments, mathematical analysis and model-building in QCD's development.

Addresses conceptual tensions between mathematical frameworks and realistic interpretations of quarks in particle theory.

Published by Cambridge University Press as a comprehensive scholarly treatment of modern physics history.
