I'm interested in comments on thishttp://camoo.freeshell.org/25.6.gif" .
I tried to upload it to the forum but apparently that doesn't work well with .gifs.
It's an exercise in a book asking you to explain the particle octet, why there aren't uuu, ddd and sss spin 1/2 particles, there are 1 each of uud, uss, etc. etc., and 2 types of uds particles. I'm wondering whether I got the wavefunctions for the uds particles right. I was just guessing, came up with something nice and symmetrical that looks right, but I don't know if there's a way to tell if it is right.
Yes, I know that according to the color theory, the quarks aren't actually following boson statistics. This exercise was before that was explained in the book, all we were told was that the quarks are acting like bosons.
