Fermi Lecture 2 7
In the last lecture, I discussed the main questions physicists were grappling with at the turn of this century. Some have been answered and some have not, and I will explore many of those during the course.
But, first, let’s look a little at “What We Know!!”

Frontiers 2What we know: Evolution of the Universe
The universe today is the product of a long chain of events, as shown in this artists conception of cosmological evolution beginning with the big bang. We study both the chronology and the causal connections.

Frontiers 2What we know: The Vacuum
According to the rules of quantum field theory, the vacuum is not empty but it is actively populated by particle-antiparticle pairs that appear, annihilate, and disappear, existing fo only brief instants.

Frontiers 2What we know: The Elementary Constituents and Forces
The fundamental particles include both the fermions, the matter particles, and bosons, the force carriers. Masses of all particles are given in GeV/c2, a unit in which the mass of the proton is approximately 0.94, electric charge is listed in units of the electron charge. The Higgs particle discovered after this chart (e.g. 2012)! Is added to the bosons. Also, neutrino mass must be added.

Inelastic Production of the First πN Resonance
Inelastic Pion Scattering. The data showed climbing the peak, early evidence for producing the Δ(1238)
resonance.
Good enough for a PhD thesis!!

These are just the tip of the iceberg: At least twenty πN states with mass< 2200 MeV. All decay with short lifetimes because they decay by Strong Interactions

Gell-Mann’s “Eightfold Way”Frontiers 2
Murray Gell-Mann proposed that nature had an organizing scheme for the rapidly growing set of elementary particles based on the “eight fold way” For example, the lightest baryons are arranged into a hexagonal array shown below
