Topic: George Zweig


  
 George Zweig - Definition, explanation
George Zweig is a US particle physicist and neurobiologist.
In 1964, Zweig proposed the existence of quarks independently of Murray Gell-Mann (Zweig referred to them as "aces").
Zweig later turned to neurobiology, and studied the transduction of sound into nerve impulses in the cochlea of the human ear.

 ZoomInfo Web Summary: George Zweig   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Zweig spent the next several years studying sound, what happens to sound when it enters the ear, and how the brain maps sound onto the spatial dimensions of the cerebral cortex.
Zweig is president of Signition, as well as continuing his research in cochlear mechanics as a Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Zweig's suspicion that there were four basic constituents, rather than three, was ahead of its time, anticipating the elucidation and discovery of the fourth quark ­ "charm" ­ in the early 1970s.

 CERN Courier - K for KLOE... ...and Z for Z - IOP Publishing - article
George Zweig, just completing his PhD at Caltech under Richard Feynman, looked at the paper and was immediately intrigued by the huge signal for the decay into two kaons, right at the edge of the kinematically allowed region, while the apparently easier rho­pi decay was suppressed.
Later, Zweig wrote: "The reaction of the theoretical physics community to the ace model was not benign.
Zweig subsequently turned his talents to research in sensory physiology, where, in 1975, his work led to the development of what is now called the continuous wavelet transform ­ a way of displaying and extracting time and frequency information in a signal.

 Physics Today August 2003 - Opinion
In the late 1960s when those experiments began, the quark hypothesis stood far down the list of particle theories.
Even Murray Gell-Mann, who conceived the idea along with George Zweig, did not think such fractionally charged entities could ever exist.
For Gell-Mann, quarks had to be "mathematical," a convenient rubric for organizing the burgeoning zoo of baryons and mesons.

 NOVA | The Elegant Universe | Elementary Particles (non-Flash) | PBS
In 1964 Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig independently announced the theoretical existence of quarks.
Murray Gell-Mann's and George Zweig's quark hypothesis was confirmed in 1968 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
In 1947 George Rochester and C.C Butler discovered the "V" particle (from a cosmic ray), which was later shown to be associated with the strange quark.

 CERN Courier - Faces and places (page 3) - IOP Publishing - article
The year 2004 marked the 40th anniversary of several important developments in physics, such as the experimental observation of charge-parity (CP) violation; the detection of the cosmic microwave background; the Higgs-Brout-Englert mechanism; and the publication of the quark model of hadrons, independently by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig.
A highlight of the meeting was an historical colloquium, given by George Zweig, detailing his role in the discovery of the quark model 40 years ago.
It is perhaps less well known that Zweig made his independent discovery of the model while a post-doctoral fellow at CERN.

 Modern Particle Theory timeline
By the mid-1960's, physicists realized that their previous understanding, where all matter is composed of the fundamental protons, neutrons, and electron, was insufficient to explain the myriad new particles being discovered.
Over the last thirty years, the theory that is now called the Standard Model of particles and interactions has gradually grown and gained increasing acceptance with new evidence from new particle accelerators.
They suggested that mesons and baryons are composites of three quarks or antiquarks, called up, down, or strange (u, d, s) with spin 0.5 and electric charges 2/3, -1/3, -1/3, respectively (it turns out that this theory is not completely accurate).

 Quark - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
Scientists needed a new model to make sense of their findings.
In 1964 American physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig independently developed a theory of particle physics that proposed quarks as the building blocks of protons and neutrons.
Gell-Mann borrowed the word quark from James Joyce’s novel Finnegans Wake (1939), which contains the phrase “three quarks for Muster Mark.” The two physicists needed only two types of quarks to describe the proton and neutron accurately: the up quark and the down quark.

Confusion reigned until 1963, when the physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig independently surmised that many particles in this vast array were actually composites, each a different combination of smaller, more fundamental constituents.
It is now generally forgotten that the brilliant idea of Mr.
Zweig was just one of a bewildering variety of theories then being advocated as the most basic form of matter.

Zweig published quark theory at CERN in 1964 (calling them 'aces'), but everyone knows that no particle can have 1/3 electric charge.
Rather than receiving recognition, he encountered stiff barriers and was accused of being a charlatan.
