Meson Physics: Robert E. Marshak

From the back cover:

This book is intended for research workers in roeson physics, or as a primary or secondary text in a course on roeson or high energy physics. It presupposes a course in quantum mechanics and some familiarity with the quantum theory of radiation and the quantum theory of fields. The basic theory of roeson physics is traced in detail in Chapters 1 and 2, so that the reader becomes acquainted at the start with some of the characteristic methods and limitations of present-day roeson field theory. The remainder of the book explicitly presents the results of roeson experiments through 1952, including many of the indisputable facts concerning both pi and my mesons which were established since the discovery of the pi roeson in 1947. Throughout, particular emphasis has been laid on the theoretical significance of the new findings. However, by restricting itself to real roeson processes and omitting nuclear phenomena which involve roesons only as virtual transitions, the book eliminates some of the most speculative and least satisfactory predictions of roeson theory.

The first four chapters elucidate the behavior of charged and neutral pi mesons at non-relativistic nucleon energies, with special attention being given to the accelerator experiments which were increasingly more incisive in their determination of the properties of the pi mesons. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the striking contrasts between pi and mu mesons. Chapter 7 delineates the characteristic problems associated with the nuclear interaction of pi mesons. Chapter 8 discusses pi meson production phenomena at relativistic nucleon energies. Chapter 9 presents the early evidence for new classes of particles and indicates the theoretical difficulties created by the discovery of heavy mesons and hyperons.

With the rapid development of meson physics during the past few years, and with the development of new roeson-producing accelerators, this volume should become increasingly useful not only as an introduction to the field, but as a historical and research guide to one of the most exciting areas in modern physics.
