1.6 Strange Particles
Discovery of Kaon, “strangeness”, and its “conservation law”
Category: chapter1. historical introduction
1.5 Neutrinos
The indeterministic electron energy in beta decay raised a requirement of new particle produced in the reaction, recalling Powell’s emulsion picture indicates this new particle should be electrically neutral, eventually led to the family of leptons.
1.4 Antiparticle
From Dirac’s discovery of negative energy solution to a resolution of a “infinite sea of electrons”, till introduction of antiparticle by Feynman and Stuckelberg
1.3 Meson
this section introduce Yukawa’s original theory about meson
1.2 Photon
solution of Compton scattering may also serve as an exercise of relativity
1.1 the Electrical Era
from J. J. Thomson’s discovery of electron to Bohr’s model of hydrogen
