PA2260___Relativity_Quantum_and_Particles Flashcards
The 6 Flavors of Quarks:
- Up
- Down
- Charmed
- Strange
- Top
- Bottom
T or F:
Leptons are fundamental Particles
True
Mesons Composition:
A Quark and an Anti-Quark
Neutron Quark Composition:
udd
Baryon Composition:
Three Quarks
Proton Quark Composition:
uud
Briefly state how quarks combine to form baryons, anti-baryons, and mesons.
Quarks combine to form baryons, anti-baryons, and mesons through the strong nuclear force, which is mediated by particles called gluons.
- Baryon = QQQ
- Meson = Q(-Q)

Fermions vs Bosons
Fermions:
- Obey Fermi-Dirac Statistics
- Characterised by half-integer spin (1/2, 3/2, …)
.
Boson:
- Follow Bose-Einstein Statistics
- characterised by integer spin (0, 1, 2, …)
