Atoms consist of a nucleus made from protons and neutrons, and a hull made from electrons. Protons and neutrons in turn are made from up and down quarks (uud for the proton and udd for the neutron). Add the electron neutrino to fix up some nuclear reactions, and you're good to go as far as most things you see around you is concerned (excluding the 'force carrier' part of the particle spectrum). Hence the quip "Who ordered that?" attributed to I.I. Rabi on the discovery of the muon. |
