Description
Charge independence and charge symmetry are approximate symmetries of nature, violated by the perturbing effects of the mass difference between up and down quarks and by electromagnetic interactions. They provide powerful tools in organizing and describing the multiplet structure of hadrons and nuclei. The observations of the symmetry breaking effects in nuclear and particle physics and the implications of those effects are reviewed. (authors). 146 refs., 11 figs., 3 tabs
