He received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for contributions concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1969/gell-mann/biographical/ |title=Murray Gell-Mann - Biographical |publisher=Nobel Prize Outreach |access-date=20 May 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Gell-Mann&#039;s eightfold way used symmetry principles to arrange hadrons into families. His quark model gave a deeper explanation of that pattern and became one of the conceptual steps toward [[Physics:Quantum chromodynamics (QCD)|quantum chromodynamics]], the theory of the strong interaction.<br /> <br /> == Quarks and QCD ==<br /> The quark model transformed particle physics by treating many observed hadrons as composite systems. In the later Standard Model, quarks interact through gluons described by non-Abelian gauge theory.<br /> <br /> Gell-Mann&#039;s work connects symmetry, particle classification, [[Physics:Quantum Non-Abelian gauge theory|non-Abelian gauge theory]], and the [[Physics:Quantum Standard Model|Standard Model]]. It also remains important for understanding confinement, hadron structure, and the historical development of QCD.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum chromodynamics (QCD)]]<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum Standard Model]]<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum Non-Abelian gauge theory]]<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum confinement problem]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist|3}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Gell-Mann, Murray}}<br /> [[Category:Nobel laureates in Physics]]<br /> [[Category:Quantum physicists]]<br /> [[Category:Theoretical physicists]]<br /> <br /> {{Sourceattribution|Biography:Murray Gell-Mann|1}}</div>
