Re: Re: A contribution to the history of quarks

TL;DR

This paper discusses the historical significance of Boris Struminsky's 1965 paper introducing the concept of color charge in quarks, and how subsequent responses have reinforced the understanding of quark theory.

Contribution

It provides a historical analysis of the development of the quark color quantum number and clarifies the interpretative responses to Struminsky's work.

Findings

Struminsky's 1965 paper introduced the quark color quantum number.

Responses to the paper support the overall quark model.

Historical context clarifies the development of quark theory.

Abstract

The emergence of Boris Struminsky's January, 1965 paper with a footnote that introduced a new quark quantum number now known as color caused a response [arXiv:0908.2772] that is seen, perhaps contrary to what it was intended to convey, to corroborate the general picture that comes out of the evidence summarized in [arXiv:0904.0343].
