“Elementary” Particles An Embarrassment of Riches
Beginning with the discovery of the electron in 1898, physicists encountered an increasing array of so-called “elementary” particles. It became evident to physicists in the 1960’s that these particles must themselves be combinations of deeper fundamental particles. Joseph F. Alward, PhD Department of Physics University of the Pacific
24
The Origin of Quark Theory
1929- In the early 1960’s, Gell-Mann and others proposed the Quark Theory to explain the “elementary” particles and their interactions in terms of 3 deeper fundamental particles called quarks. Further developments have shown there are actually 6 different quarks and their corresponding anti-quarks. The quarks and their properties have been given whimsical names like “charm” that have no physical significance. Murray Gell-Mann took the name quark from "Three quarks for muster Mark", in James Joyce's book Finnegan's Wake. (1963) (Nobel Prize 1969)
