Maury Gell-Mann ( at CalTech ) ( at CalTech ) Proposed the existence of Quarks as the fundamental building blocks of matter in the late 1960s. Awarded Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969 for the development of the Quark model, and the classification of elementary particles. FlavorQ/eu+2/3 d-1/3 s-1/3

Three Families of Quarks Generations IIIIII Charge = -1/3 d (down) s (strange) b (bottom) Charge = +2/3 u (up) c (charm) t (top) Also, each quark has a corresponding antiquark. The antiquarks have opposite charge to the quarks Increasing mass

Hadrons- the composites of Quarks Baryons are a composites of three quarks Baryons are a composites of three quarks Mesons are a composites of a quark-antiquark pair Mesons are a composites of a quark-antiquark pair

Summary of Young Tableaux Method – The SU(N) Notation Here N = 2 (for Spin up or down) N = 1 to 5 (for quark flavors – up, down, strange, charm, beauty)
25
Young Tableaux (Young Diagrams) In the SU(N) Notation, N is denoted by a box.
26
(N) - Total Number of Spins or Quark Flavors
27
The conjugate representation N for Anti-quarks. Denoted by a column of N-1 boxes. If N = 4, then the conjugate representation of N is with 3 boxes.

WHAT IS THE NET VALUE OF A VALID CONFIGURATION ? A RATIO OF….. Product of Box Values (n) V = ----------------------------------- Product of Possible “Hook” Values (h)
41
A numerator (n) is defined as the product of the actual value each consecutive box. n = 3 4 5 = 60 345 FOR N = 3
42
A denominator is defined as the product of all of the possible consecutive “hooks” Hooks Hooks h = 3 2 1 = 6
43
FOR N = 3, IN THIS PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION FOR N = 3, IN THIS PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION 3 4 5 3 4 5 V = ------------ = 10 V = ------------ = 10 3 2 1 3 2 1
44
LET’S CALCULATE THE VALUE OF THIS CONFIGURATION FOR ANY “N” ! LET’S CALCULATE THE VALUE OF THIS CONFIGURATION FOR ANY “N” ! NN+1 NN-1
45
“n” is defined as the product of the actual value of each consecutive box. n = ( each box values ) (product) n = ( N )( N + 1 )( N – 1 )( N )
46
FOR N = 3 FOR N = 3 34 32 n = 3 4 2 3 = 72
47
“h” is defined as the product of the possible “hook” values of each consecutive box- configuration n = (“hook” value of each box-configuration) (product)
48
h = 3 2 2 1 = 12

Space is described by the Parity (P) of the Baryon which is defined as the state of the particle P ≡ (-1 )(l + l´) In the ground state l = 0 and l´=0 P = (-1) 0 = + P ≡ (-1 )(l + l´) In the ground state l = 0 and l´=0 P = (-1) 0 = +

54
Color The strong force that binds the quarks with gluons carry “color charge” i.e. red, green and blue. Since a baryon is a Fermion, it must obey Pauli’s Exclusion Principle, and hence the color charge combination must be anti-symmetric for all baryons.
55
COLOR: From the SU(3) c Color Symmetry Group Only the color combination is valid - Color Singlet (Colorless) - Color Singlet (Colorless)
