India in the world of physics: Prof. A. N. MitraPart VIIIPhysics in the small : Nuclei to Quarks In Part VII, we looked at the experimental status in our country for studies in various disciplines. In particular, experimental high energy physics (HEP) grew in a very modest way through cosmic ray studies wherein the Indian activities were duly subsumed in the global efforts. These, in turn, played a key role in the early evolution of concepts on the structure and interaction of elementary particles. We now come to our theoretical understanding of physics in the small and the large. Needless to mention that this theoretical understanding is an independent development, whose foundations were outlined in Part I. The unfolding of ‘physics in the small’ has been a long saga of discoveries in three successive stages, of which only the first (atomic) stage dominated by the electromagnetic interaction, was the subject of Part III. This theoretical narrative concerns the next two stages of matter, namely, mesons and baryons (hadrons) and leptons, to quarks, gluon and W, Z bosons as the carriers of strong and electroweak interactions. A most crucial concept that has played a key role (with firm experimental support) in building this huge infrastructure concerns the numbers of quarks and leptons (six varieties each) that are necessary for keeping the theoretical framework anomaly-free. Especially the discovery of the top quark at the ‘right mass’ of 175 GeV, was an exciting finish (albeit delayed) in the race for this missing element after a hot chase. In this respect, an Indian contribution has been substantial, Durga Prasad Roy of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) being one of the first to predict the precise mass position of this elusive particle well in advance of its actual discovery (1995). A second pivotal link in the theoretical framework is the so called Higgs particle, a fallout of the
