"One of the main challenges in nuclear and particle physics in the last 20 years has been to understand how the proton's spin is built up from its quark and gluon constituents. Quark models generally predict that about 60% of the proton's spin should bo carried by the spin of th…

Pauli and the spin-statistics theorem
by Pauli, Wolfgang, Duck, Ian, Sudarshan, E. C. G.
This book makes broadly accessible an understandable proof of the infamous spin-statistics theorem. This widely known but little-understood theorem is intended to explain the fact that electrons obey the Pauli exclusion principle. This fact, in turn, explains the periodic table …
Pauli and the spin-statistics theorem
by Pauli, Wolfgang, Duck, Ian, Sudarshan, E. C. G.
All atomic particles have a particular "spin." Simple as spin may sound, the quantum mechanical reality underlying it is complex and still poorly understood. Because of the wide range of physics needed for its understanding, spin is not described in sufficient depth by any stand…
