5.11. Quarks, Gluons, and Intermediate Bosons 113 Figure 5.26: Drawing of the reaction dK + → ΩΛΛpπ + π − and the resulting decays. [A. Firestone et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 26, 410 (1971).] Figure 5.27: Production of the Ω, observed in a study of K + d interactions at a momentum of 12 GeV/c, in the 2 m SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) bubble chamber.

114 The <strong>Subatomic</strong> Zoo not accepted by Planck for at least 15 years. The neutrino, postulated by Pauli in 1930, was considered to be speculative for many years even by Bohr. In the case of the photon, the observation of the Compton effect dispelled the doubt; in the case of the neutrino, detection in absorption by Reines and coworkers in 1956 convinced the last disbelievers. As we have said in Section 5.3, we will never see the rho “directly”. Can we still consider it a particle? We will not establish a firm criterion here, but instead introduce particles for which either the experimental evidence is very strong, or for which the theoretical arguments are convincing. In either case, the introduction of these particles makes the discussion of experiments and results much more elegant. We have already stated in the introduction to Part II that experiments at energies above 10 GeV reveal that the proton, for instance, is not elementary but composed of subunits. These experiments, discussed in Section 6.7, and many additional data provide unambiguous evidence for the existence of quarks. (35) We will treat quarks in detail in Chapter 15. Here we only describe the properties that we will need for a preliminary understanding. Baryons are fermions built primarily from three quarks, and mesons are bosons built from a quark (q) andan antiquark (¯q): baryon (qqq) meson (q¯q). In order to describe the presently known baryons and mesons, six quarks and the corresponding antiquarks are needed. In Table 5.7, we give the most important properties of quarks. At the same time we list the leptons again, in order to point out a striking similarity in the grouping of the two otherwise very different sets of particles. Leptons and quarks are fermions; all particles in Table 5.7 have spin 1/2 and possess antiparticles. The particles divide into three generations or families, light, intermediate, and heavy. Recent evidence from the decay of the Z 0 shows conclusively that there are only three generations of neutrinos of small mass. (36) Within each family, there are two different “flavors”, and the table contains six flavors of leptons and six of quarks. The quark property that immediately catches the eye is the electric charge: quarks have charges (2/3)e and −(1/3)e! These charges, of course, permit the assignment Eq. (5.66). With the charges given in Table 5.7 it is easy to see that the combination (uud) has the correct charge to be a proton, (udd) a neutron. Despite great efforts to catch a free quark, none has been seen (see Chapter 15); strong theoretical arguments imply that quarks must remain confined within hadrons. (37) 35 S. L. Glashow, Sci.
