Thirty years of mesons

Mesons have been predicted (in the first place, pi mesons by Yukawa in 1935), misidentified (mu mesons in cosmic rays) and discovered (pi mesons in cosmic rays), or at times discovered and not understood (the K mesons). Although the discovery of more mesons is expected, it seems unlikely that we are about to return to a traditional view of the fundamental particles as “simply” composed.

LET ME OPEN this account by reminding you that by now many mesons have been recognized, ordered and sorted out, their properties in part established, in some limited measure understood.
