Eightfold Way

The eightfold way often has been compared to a 20th-century periodic table in its predictive power.

The Eightfold Way classification is named after the following fact.

In particle physics, the eightfold way is used to classify sub-atomic particles.

(The term is a reference to the eightfold way of Buddhism.)

The quark model is the follow-up to the Eightfold Way classification scheme.

Eightfold Way may refer to:

This leads to the Gell-Mann-Nishijima formula and the eightfold way, which provides the most correct fundamental description.

Eightfold Way (physics)

The Eightfold Way may be understood in modern terms as a consequence of flavor symmetries between various kinds of quarks.

Gell-Mann dubbed it "the eightfold way" in puckish homage to the Buddhist path to nirvana.

Physicist Yuval Ne'eman had independently developed a scheme similar to the Eightfold Way in the same year.

Gell-Mann referred to the scheme as the Eightfold Way, because of the octets of particles in the classification.

These experiments confirmed the existence of up and down quarks, and by extension, strange quarks, as they were required to explain the Eightfold Way.

Including the strange quark in this scheme gives rise to the Eightfold Way scheme for classifying mesons and baryons.

This multiplet structure was combined with strangeness in Murray Gell-Mann's eightfold way, ultimately leading to the quark model and quantum chromodynamics.

Here sat the Buddha, contemplating the Eightfold Way; there the Trimenagists Shifting Triangle pulsed and glowed, beckoning.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the pseudoscalar mesons began to proliferate, and were eventually organized into a multiplet according to Murray Gell-Mann's so-called "Eightfold Way".

The Eightfold Way: the Beauty of Klein's Quartic Curve (Silvio Levy, ed.)

While the quark model explained the Eightfold Way, no direct evidence of the existence of quarks was found until 1968 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.

Murray Gell-Mann's SU(3) model (sometimes called the Eightfold Way) predicted this hyperon's existence, mass and that it will only undergo weak decay processes.

In addition to organizing the mesons and spin-1/2 baryons into an octet, the principles of the Eightfold Way also applied to the spin-3/2 baryons, forming a decuplet.

The proposal came shortly after Gell-Mann's 1961 formulation of a particle classification system known as the Eightfold Way - or, in more technical terms, SU(3) flavor symmetry.

The larger symmetry was named the Eightfold Way by Murray Gell-Mann, and was promptly recognized to correspond to the adjoint representation of SU(3).

To gain greater insight, the hadrons were sorted into groups having similar properties and masses using the eightfold way, invented in 1961 by Gell-Mann and Yuval Ne'eman.
