Abstract

Nuclear physics deals with the study of the fundamental properties of nuclear matter and the character of the strong nuclear force. By the 1960s the concept of nuclear matter had been extended from the nucleons making up atomic nuclei to a vast number of strongly interacting particles known as hadrons.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This symmetry is only approximate as it is broken explicitly by the quark masses. Thus the pions are pseudo-Goldstone bosons.

  2. 2.

    In this section the generator/adjoint indices are denoted by capital, Roman script, as a superscript with the summation over repeated indices is implied. The fundamental, matrix multiplication indices are denoted by lower case, Roman script appearing as subscripts. The Lorentz indices are indicated by Greek characters and the standard Einstein summation convention applies.
