Physics Today

Over the past year a simple new expression for the scattering amplitude has excited new hope for strong‐interaction theory. The Veneziano representation, named for Gabriele Veneziano of the Weizmann Institute, Rehovoth, Israel, includes explicitly for the first time several properties that a strong‐interaction theory presumably must have. The representation is in a simple, closed mathematical form containing products of gamma functions, and it accommodates in a consistent fashion linear Regge trajectories that are suggested by experiment.
