It, along with the down quark, forms the neutrons (one up quark, two down quarks) and protons (two up quarks, one down quark) of atomic nuclei. It is...

which Gell-Mann called "quarks". Initially, only the up quark, the down quark, and the strange quark were proposed. These quarks would produce all of the...

Look up quark in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A quark is an elementary particle. Quark may also refer to: "Quark", a nonce word in James Joyce's Finnegans...

In particle physics, the quark model is a classification scheme for hadrons in terms of their valence quarks—the quarks and antiquarks that give rise to...

down quark (symbol: d) is a type of elementary particle, and a major constituent of matter. The down quark is the second-lightest of all quarks, and combines...
