NUCLEAR DEMOCRACY AND BOOTSTRAP DYNAMICS
The assumption of the dynamical equivalence of all nuclear particles is discussed and contrasted with conventional electrodynamics and weak interaction theory. The relation with the idea that all strong forces are Yukawa forces is brought out, and an attempt is made to explain the difference in properties between baryons and mesons on one hand and ordinary nuclei on the other. The bootstrap mechanism is explained, with emphasis on the crucial role of crossing matrices and the Froissart limit. It is shown that the combined requirements of unitarity and analyticity of the s-matrix can place both lower and upper limits on the particle population in a democracy. (auth)
