Constituent Quark Model (Non-relativistic) l l Quasi–particles, have same quantum number like fundamental quarks

Constituent Quark Model (Non-relativistic) l l Quasi–particles, have same quantum number like fundamental quarks of QCD: electric charge, baryon number, color, flavor and spin. Bare quark dressed by clouds of quark-antiquark pairs and gluons. Mass is more than 300 Me. V, compared to bare quark about 10 Me. V. Allow treatment similar to nuclear shell model l Simpler: only three players ( for baryons ) while nuclei can have many nucleons. l Harder: more freedom, § three colors, while nucleons are colorless § three flavors, while nucleons only have neutrons and protons.

Original Quark Model 1964 The model was proposed independently by Gell-Mann and Zweig Three fundamental building blocks 1960’s (p, n, l) Þ 1970’s (u, d, s) mesons are bound states of a of quark and anti-quark: Can make up "wave functions" by combining quarks: baryons are bound state of 3 quarks: proton = (uud), neutron = (udd), L= (uds) anti-baryons are bound states of 3 anti-quarks: Λ= (uds)

Quarks These quark objects are: • point like • spin 1/2 fermions • parity

Quarks These quark objects are: • point like • spin 1/2 fermions • parity = +1 (-1 for anti-quarks) • two quarks are in isospin doublet (u and d), s is an iso-singlet (=0) • Obey Q = I 3 +1/2(S+B) = I 3 +Y/2 • Group Structure is SU(3) • For every quark there is an anti-quark • The anti-quark has opposite charge, baryon number and strangeness • Quarks feel all interactions (have mass, electric charge, etc)

Early 1960’s Quarks Successes of 1960’s Quark Model: • Classify all known (in the early 1960’s) particles in terms of 3 building blocks • predict new particles (e. g. W-) • explain why certain particles don’t exist (e. g. baryons with spin 1) • explain mass splitting between meson and baryons • explain/predict magnetic moments of mesons and baryons • explain/predict scattering cross sections (e. g. spp/spp = 2/3) Failures of the 1960's model: • No evidence for free quarks (fixed up by QCD) • Pauli principle violated (D++= (uuu) wave function is totally symmetric) (fixed up by color) • What holds quarks together in a proton ? (gluons! ) • How many different types of quarks exist ? (6? )

Additions to the Original Quark Model – Charm l l l Another quark was needed to account for some discrepancies between predictions of the model and experimental results Charm would be conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions, but not in weak interactions In 1974, a new meson, the J/Ψ was discovered that was shown to be a charm quark and charm antiquark pair
