Quarks and Gluons

+

+ For a long time, it was believed that the Proton and the Neutron, which make up the atomic nucleus, were fundamental particles. + During the 1950s and 1960, an immense number of new, seemingly fundamental particles was discovered. + This "particle zoo" confused physicists greatly, until a radical idea was proposed in 1964: + What if these new particles were not fundamental, but instead made up of other particles, called quarks. + These quarks would have a new three-fold charge called "color charge" (which has nothing to do with visible colors). + Color charge would be transmitted via a new (eight-fold) fundamental particle, called the gluon. +

+

+ Spectacularly, this model could explain all of the newly discovered composite hadrons, and even predict a few that had not been discovered! + Shortly afterwards, it was confirmed through experiments with deep inelastic scattering that the Proton and Neutron were not fundamental. + They, too, are made up of quarks! +
