Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines the various types of transitions of hadron states according to the quark model. Emphasizing the non-relativistic quark model, with a study of relativistic corrections, the authors describe methods and summarize the model's experimental status. They give detailed examinations of processes induced by the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions, with a systematic comparison of the model with experiment. "Hadron Transitions in the Quark Model" constitutes a possible synthesis of the achievements of the quark model in this low energy domain, and is adressed to experimental and theoretical particle physicists.
