Isospin: Quantum number related to the Strong Interactions
For a two-nucleon system, the spin singlet and triplet states are:

Similarly, each nucleon has an isospin, I = ½, with I3=±½ for protons and neutrons. Then the spin states are:

Pauli Matrices
Pauli Matrices are Hermitian
The 2×2 matrices known as U(2) and traceless 2×2 form a subgroup SU(2) in two dimension

• For 3 flavors of Quarks, q = u, d, s – 9 possible combinations of Quark-Antiquark
• Among 9 combinations – 8 states are in SU(3) Octet and 1 state in SU(3) singlet
• The 8 states transform among themselves, but do not mix with singlet state

Three Quark States: Baryons
• There are 27 possible qqq combinations involved in the SU(3) decomposition• First, the two qq combinations arrange themselves into two SU(3) multiplets having 6 symmetric and 3 anti-symmetric states
![Page 18: PHYS 745G Presentation Symmetries & Quarks Shakil Mohammed Department of Physics & Astronomy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cf85503460f949c9815/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Next, we add the 3rd Quark triplet such that,

• For the pA part,pA = √1/2(ud-du)u
• For the S partΔ = √1/3[uud+(ud+du)u]
• The remaining part requires orthogonality and thus,
pS = √1/6[(ud+du)u-2uud]
