INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTARY PARTICLES
these call for a strong preparation in advanced quantum mechanics, if not quan tum field theory. At the other extreme, there are many fine popular books and a number of outstanding Scientific American articles. But very little has been written specifically for the undergraduate. This book is an effort to fill that need.

cds.cern.chment no "hidden variable" interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible. These attempts have been examined elsewhere [ 4] and found wanting. Moreover, a hidden variable interpretation of elementary quan tum theory [S] has been explicitly constructed. That particular interpretation has indeed a grossly non local structure.

For now, we’ll quickly sketch the circumstances in which we expect the number of particles to change. Consider a particle of mass mtrapped in a box of size L. Heisenberg tells us that the uncertainty in the momentum is p ~=L.

So we begin with a lightning review of classical mechanics, whose formulation begins (but does not end!) with Newton’s law F = ma.
