Abstract

In 1956, disciplines including nuclear technology and research on nuclear and elementary particles were added to the P. R. China’s national program for science and technology development. Mao Zedong explicitly supported Shoichi Sakata, a Japanese physicist, in applying materialistic dialectics to physics research, which influenced Chinese scientists in their study of particle physics. Starting in the early 1960s, physicists from the Institute of Atomic Energy, CAS, the Institute of Mathematics, CAS, Peking University, and University of Science and Technology of China put effort into the theoretical research of elementary particles and gradually formed a collaborative research group. From 1965 to 1966, they analyzed the experimental results and existing theories available to them, made a connection between their work and Mao Zedong’s belief that matter can be infinitely divided, and put forward the straton model, a structure model of hadrons. In July 1966, the straton model was presented at the Summer Physics Colloquium of the Peking Symposium. Unfortunately, scientific research in China soon came to a halt due to the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976); the academic exchange between Chinese scientists and their foreign peers became even more difficult than before. The calculation results of the hadron model failed to be formally published in English as Chinese scientists had wanted. As a result, the model did not have the kind of influence upon the development of particle physics at the international level that these scientists had expected.
中国物理学家在社会语境中对斯特拉顿模型的建构1
1956年,核技术、核粒子与基本粒子研究等学科被列入中国国家科技发展规划。从20世纪60年代初开始,中国科学院原子能研究所、中国科学院数学研究所、北京大学和中国科学技术大学的物理学家们致力于基本粒子的理论研究,并逐渐形成了一个合作研究小组。1966年7月,在北京学术会议夏季物理学术会议上提出了层子模型。不幸的是,由于文化大革命(1966-1976),中国的科学研究很快停止了;中国科学家与外国同行之间的学术交流比以前更加困难了。强子模型的计算结果未能如中国科学家所希望的那样以英文正式发表。结果,该模型并没有像这些科学家所期望的那样,在国际层面上对粒子物理学的发展产生影响。
