The \"Standard Model\" lists elementary particles, by which we mean the particle

Question

The "Standard Model" lists elementary particles, by which we mean the particles that make up all of matter I ill in Table 2 regarding some of the particles of the Standard Model and their properties Also note the following: By "neutrino", we mean only the electron neutrino Electric charge is expressed in comparison to the charge of an electron. keeping in mind the electron has negative charge Subatomic particles act sometimes as it they are little spinning balls (they aren't, of course). Spin is expressed in units of h (pronounced "h-bar"). which is Planck's constant divided by 2n "Gauge" is short for "gauge bosons", which are force carriers All particles feel the effects of gravity. Which other forces do they feel ? Abbreviate electromagnetism as "E&M;", strong nuclear as middot strong", and weak nuclear as "weak" The discovery of the Higgs boson made international news a few years ago. What is the primary "job" of the Higgs boson (and/or the Higgs Field)?

Explanation / Answer

Paricle charge spin quark/lepton Force Electron -e 1/2 lepton EM Neutrino 0 1/2 lepton weak Up +2e/3 1/2 quark strong,weak, EM Down -e/3 1/2 quark strong,weak,EM Photon 0 0 EM Gluon 0 1 S Higgs_Boson 0 1 S
