THE ELEMENTARY PARTICLE SPECTRUM.
Abstract
The relativistic quantum theory of the symmetric top implies that the spin J of a particle state can be represented as the sum of four commuting spin operators of lengths given by the positive integers or half-integers n, n', l, l'. If (l + l') is identified with the isospin, 2(n' - n) with the strangeness, and, where applicable, (-1) to the (n + n') power with the G parity, the simplest choices of n, n', l, l' lead to a correct description of J, I, S, G for every known strongly interacting meson or baryon state.
