Translated from English
Moscow: Mir Publishers, 1965
464 pp., illustrated. Hardcover, enlarged format
Kazuhiko Nishijima's book "Fundamental Particles," published by Mir Publishers in 1965, stands as one of the most profound and systematic courses on high-energy physics of its era. As a distinguished theoretical physicist and a pioneer of the strangeness concept, the author structures the narrative around fundamental symmetry principles and conservation laws. The text provides a detailed examination of subatomic particle classification, the nature of isospin, baryon and lepton charges, and offers an in-depth analysis of the Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula, which laid the groundwork for hadron systematics. Although published before the final triumph of the quark model, the work delivers an exceptionally clear mathematical and conceptual framework for understanding strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions. This edition, featuring a hardbound cover and an enlarged format, is characteristic of high-quality Soviet scientific literature, where particular emphasis was placed on translation accuracy and the quality of illustrative material.
