Inferring conservation laws in particle physics: A case study in the problem of induction (English)
0 references
In the particle physics the classical conservation principles such as conservation of energy, momentum and electric charge have been supplemented by new conservation principles. This paper formulates an inductive problem that arises in the particle physics: how to infer from the observed reactions, conservation principles that describe all reactions among elementary particles. It is shown that there is a reliable inference procedure (which under circumstances involves hidden particles) that allows to arrive at an empirically adequate set of conservation principles as more and more evidence is obtained.
