ON THE GROUP STRUCTURE OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES
An attempt is made to account for the group structure of elementary particles by assuming that they are obtained by combining a limited number of basic fields. It is shown that if the basic fields are all taken to be fermions, one needs three fields to account for the continuous group structure only, but four fields are necessary if distinct operations for C and P are to be incorporated in the scheme. On the other hand, a model with half the number of independent field components can describe the group structure correctly if both bosons and fermions are taken as basic fields, their common feature in this case being that they are all strange fields. Difficulties inherent in such schemes are discussed. (auth)
