- Classification of particles
- Hadrons
- Mesons
- Pion (0, +1, -1)
- Kaons (0, +1, -1)
- have strangeness
- Made up of quark/anti quark
- Baryons
- Nucleons
- protons (uud)
- neutrons (udd)
- Made up of 3 quarks
- Nucleons
- feel the strong interaction
- Made up of quarks
- Mesons
- Leptons
- electron (-1)
- electron nutino
- Tau (-1)
- tau nutrino
- Muon (-1)
- muon nutrino
- do not feel the strong interaction
- Fundamental particles
- Neutrinos have 0 charge and almost 0 mass
- electron (-1)
- Every particle (even quarks) have a corresponding antiparticle, with the same mass, but opposite charge and a negative particle number
- Quarks
- up +2/3
- Each has a baryon number of +1/3
- down (-1/3)
- strange (-1/3)
- Has a strangeness of -1
- charm (+2/3)
- top (+2/3)
- bottom (-1/3)
- Hadrons
