The advent of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the early 1970s was
one of the most important events in twentieth-century science. This
book examines the conceptual steps that were crucial to the rise of
QCD, placing them in historical context against the background of
debates that were ongoing between the bootstrap approach and
composite modeling, and between mathematical and realistic
conceptions of quarks. It explains the origins of QCD in current
algebra and its development through high-energy experiments,
model-building, mathematical analysis and conceptual synthesis.
Addressing a range of complex physical, philosophical and
historiographical issues in detail, this book will interest
graduate students and researchers in physics and in the history and
philosophy of science.
