Murray Gell-Mann and the Physics of Quarks

Murray Gell-Mann, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, is celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to elementary particle physics, particularly his introduction of quarks. His collaborative work with H. Fritzsch led to the development of Quantum Chromodynamics, a fundamental theory explaining the strong interactions between quarks and gluons. This book delves into his influential theories and the profound impact they have had on our understanding of the universe's fundamental particles and forces.
