Quarks and Leptons
Leptons

-
electron, muon, and tau number is conserved differently
-
quantum numbers
-
-
-
-
anti-particles will have all opposite quantum numbers including baryon, strangeness and charge
forces
-
-
for interactions, all quantum numbers must be conserved (except strangeness with week interactions). momentum is also conserved. and energy is conserved (following E=MC^2)
Quarks
hadrons
mesons
kaons and pions are mesons, they can positive, negative or zero charge and have corresponding anti-mesons
kaons also have a strangeness, k- and anti-k0 have a stangeness of -1 while k+ and k0 have a strangeness of +1
-
-
for anti-mesons, swap quarks for anti-quarks and anti-quarks for quarks
-
-
Types of quarks
-
-
-
All quarks have a corresponding anti-quark with opposite properties, they also all have a baryon number of 1/3.
strangeness
strange particles such as kaons form by the strong interaction and decay through the weak interaction
-
research
research into quantum particles is done by observing cosmic rays and also using particle accelerators
