Key Stage 5
Meaning
Quarks (q) are a type of fermion and are the constituent parts of hadrons.
About Quarks
- Quarks are believed to be fundamental particles but they have never been observed on their own.
- Quarks always exist as part of hadron including a baryon, which is a triplet of quarks or a meson which is a quark-antiquark pair.
- There are 6 types of quark including:
- Up-quark (u) - With a charge of \(+\frac{2}{3}\)e, two of which are found in proton and one of which is found in a neutron.
- Down-quark (d) - With a charge of \(-\frac{1}{3}\)e, two of which are found in a neutron and one of which is found in a proton.
- Strange-quark (s) - With a charge of \(-\frac{1}{3}\)e which decays quickly via the weak interaction into a down-quark.
- Top-quark (t) - With a charge of \(+\frac{2}{3}\)e which decays quickly via the weak interaction.
- Bottom-quark (b) - With a charge of \(-\frac{1}{3}\)e which decays quickly via the weak interaction.
- Charm-quark (c) - With a charge of \(+\frac{2}{3}\)e which decays quickly via the weak interaction.
