THE OCTET MODEL AND ITS CLEBSCH-GORDAN COEFFICIENTS

Journal Article · · Reviews of Modern Physics (U.S.)

The Clebsch-Gordan (CG) coefficients of SU(3) are derived for the products of the most important irreducible representations. Useful symmetry relations for the CG coefficients are derived. The Wigner-Eckart theorem for this group is given and applied to derive a general mass formula for the octets. The Gell-Mann-Okubo mass relation and a mass relation foi the octets that is very well satisfied by the vector mesons, if one takes as the K/sup */ the 730-Mev (K- pi ) resonance, are given. The Yukawa couplings between baryons and mesons are considered. The mathematical framework of the octet model for strong interactions is examined. (C.E.S.)
