21) What are the fundamental particles of lepton and quarks? How many are known thus far?
Solution
Quarks are one type of matter particle. Most of the matter we see around us is made from protons
and neutrons, which are composed of quarks.
There are six quarks, but physicists usually talk about them in terms of three pairs: up/down,
charm/strange, and top/bottom.(Also, for each of these quarks, there is a corresponding
antiquark.)
Quarks have the unusual characteristic of having a fractional electric charge, unlike the proton
and electron, which have integer charges of +1 and -1 respectively. Quarks also carry another
type of charge called color charge.
The most elusive quark, the top quark, was discovered in 1995 after its existence had been
theorized for 20 years.
Quarks only exist in groups with other quarks and are never found alone. Composite particles
made of quarks are called Hadron.
Although individual quarks have fractional electrical charges, they combine such that hadrons
have a net integer electric charge. Another property of hadrons is that they have no net color
charge even though the quarks themselves carry color charge.
There are two classes of hadrons:-
Baryon: - they are any hadron which is made of three quarks. Because they are made of two up
quarks and one down quark (uud), protons are baryons. So are neutrons (udd).
Meson: - it contains one quark and one anti quark. One example of a meson is a pion which is
made of an up quark and a down anti quark. The antiparticle of a meson just has its quark and
antiquark switched, so an anti pion is made of a down quark and an up antiquark.
Because a meson consists of a particle and an antiparticle, it is very unstable. The K meson lives
much longer than most mesons, which is why it was called "strange" and gave this name to the
strange quark, one of its components.
Leptons
The other type of matter particles are the leptons.
There are six leptons, three of which have electrical charge and three of which do not. They
appear to be point-like particles without internal structure. The best known lepton is the electron.
The other two charged leptons are the muon and the tau which are charged like electrons but
have a lot more mass. The other leptons are the three types of neutrinos. They have no electrical
charge, very little mass, and they are very hard to find.
Quarks are one type of matter particle. Most of the matter we see around us is made from
protons and neutrons, which are composed of quarks.

21) What are the fundamental particles of lepton and quarks How man.pdf

  • 1. 21) What are the fundamental particles of lepton and quarks? How many are known thus far? Solution Quarks are one type of matter particle. Most of the matter we see around us is made from protons and neutrons, which are composed of quarks. There are six quarks, but physicists usually talk about them in terms of three pairs: up/down, charm/strange, and top/bottom.(Also, for each of these quarks, there is a corresponding antiquark.) Quarks have the unusual characteristic of having a fractional electric charge, unlike the proton and electron, which have integer charges of +1 and -1 respectively. Quarks also carry another type of charge called color charge. The most elusive quark, the top quark, was discovered in 1995 after its existence had been theorized for 20 years. Quarks only exist in groups with other quarks and are never found alone. Composite particles made of quarks are called Hadron. Although individual quarks have fractional electrical charges, they combine such that hadrons have a net integer electric charge. Another property of hadrons is that they have no net color charge even though the quarks themselves carry color charge. There are two classes of hadrons:- Baryon: - they are any hadron which is made of three quarks. Because they are made of two up quarks and one down quark (uud), protons are baryons. So are neutrons (udd). Meson: - it contains one quark and one anti quark. One example of a meson is a pion which is made of an up quark and a down anti quark. The antiparticle of a meson just has its quark and antiquark switched, so an anti pion is made of a down quark and an up antiquark. Because a meson consists of a particle and an antiparticle, it is very unstable. The K meson lives much longer than most mesons, which is why it was called "strange" and gave this name to the strange quark, one of its components. Leptons The other type of matter particles are the leptons. There are six leptons, three of which have electrical charge and three of which do not. They appear to be point-like particles without internal structure. The best known lepton is the electron. The other two charged leptons are the muon and the tau which are charged like electrons but have a lot more mass. The other leptons are the three types of neutrinos. They have no electrical
