Eightfold Way (physics)
In
physics
, the
Eightfold Way
is a term coined by American physicist
Murray Gell-Mann
for a theory organizing subatomic
baryons
and
mesons
into octets (alluding to the
Noble Eightfold Path
of
Buddhism
). The theory was independently proposed by Israeli physicist
Yuval Ne'eman
and led to the subsequent development of the
quark model
.
