Gell-Mann's 80th birthday in Singapore on 24-26 February 2010. The
conference paid tribute to Professor Gell-Mann's great achievements in
the elementary particle physics.
This notable birthday volume contains the presentations made
at the conference by many eminent scientists, including Nobel laureates
C N Yang, G 't Hooft and K Wilson. Other invited speakers include G
Zweig, N Samios, M Karliner, G Karl, M Shifman, J Ellis, S Adler and A
Zichichi.

"As an admirer of Murray Gell-Mann, I
can only applaud the initiative of Harald Fritzsch to publish a
selection of Gell-Mann's papers. What interested me most in the
collection were not the papers published in journals, but rather, the
contributions to conferences, talks and so on." -- CERN

1: The Garden of Live Flowers (2,230k)
Murray Gell-Mann is one of the leading physicists of the
world. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969 for his work
on the classification and symmetries of elementary particles, including
the approximate SU(3) symmetry of hadrons. His list of publications is
impressive; a number of his papers have become landmarks in physics. In
1953, Gell-Mann introduced the strangeness quantum number, conserved by
the strong and electromagnetic interactions but not by the weak
interaction. In 1954 he and F E Low proposed what was later called the
renormalization group. In 1958 he and R P Feynman wrote an important
article on the V-A theory of the weak interaction. In 1961 and 1962 he
described his ideas about the SU(3) symmetry of hadrons and its
violation, leading to the prediction of the Ω- particle. In 1964 he
proposed the quark picture of hadrons. In 1971 he and H Fritzsch
proposed the exactly conserved "color" quantum number and in 1972 they
discussed what they later called quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the
gauge theory of color. These major publications and many others are
collected in this volume, providing physicists with easy access to much
of Gell-Mann's work. Some of the articles are concerned with his
recollections of the history of elementary particle physics in the
third quarter of the twentieth century.
