Need of subjecting to an experimental verification the validity within a hadron of Einstein's special relativity and Pauli's exclusion principle
This paper is a call for theoretical and experimental studies on the problem whether the relativity and quantum mechanical laws which have proved so effective for the atomic as well as the nuclear constituents are truly verified also for the hadronic constituents. For the intent of stimulating these studies, this paper is devoted to the problem whether a violation of the laws considered in the arena considered is conceivable, plausible and quantitatively treatable on grounds of our current knowledge. This problem is studied according to a number of sequential steps. First, we conduct a critical analysis of the quark models on the hadronic structure to the effect of indicating that, perhaps, their known problematic aspects are only the symptoms of a much more fundamental problem of consistency at the level of the basic laws. By noting that the available unitary models produce a Mendeleev-type classification of hadrons of unequivocal physical effectiveness and of virtually conclusive character, we search for a compatible but fundamentally different model of structure along much of the differentiation between the problem of classification and that of structure which resulted as necessary at the atomic level.
