Fundamental ParticlesSign up
know that in the standard quark-lepton model particles can be classified as: baryons (e.g. neutrons and protons), which are made from three quarks; mesons (e.g. pions), which are made from a quark and an antiquark; leptons (e.g. electrons and neutrinos), which are fundamental particles; photons; and that the symmetry of the model predicted the top quark · know that every particle has a corresponding antiparticle and be able to use the properties of a particle to deduce the properties of its antiparticle and vice versa · understand how to use laws of conservation of charge, baryon number and lepton number to determine whether a particle interaction is possible · be able to write and interpret particle equations given the relevant particle symbols.
