%0 Journal Article %T How I got to work with Feynman on the covariant quark model %A Finn Ravndal %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.1142/S0217751X15300094 %X In the period 1968 - 1974 I was a graduate student and then a postdoc at Caltech and was involved with the developments of the quark and parton models. Most of this time I worked in close contact with Richard Feynman and thus was present from the parton model was proposed until QCD was formulated. A personal account is presented how the collaboration took place and how the various stages of this development looked like from the inside until QCD was established as a theory for strong interactions with the partons being quarks and gluons. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.0509v1
