Episode 540: Quarks and the Standard Model
From the Institute of Physics, this learning episode encourages students to investigate the quark model, which creates relative order out of the chaos of particle classification.
Quarks have three ‘colour’ charges, and the rule for stability is that combinations must be colourless.
The activities look at:
* rules for quarks
* making non-strange hadrons with quark triangles
* making strange hadrons with quark triangles
* gluons and the force between quarks
* constructing Feynman diagrams
