History
S-matrix theory was proposed as a principle of particle interactions by Werner Heisenberg in 1941, following John Archibald Wheeler's 1937 introduction of the S-matrix.
It was developed heavily by Geoffrey Chew, Steven Frautschi, Stanley Mandelstam, Vladimir Gribov, and Tullio Regge. Some aspects of the theory were promoted by Lev Landau in the Soviet Union, and by Murray Gell-Mann in the United States.
