Quark (/ˈkwɔːrk/ or /ˈkwɑːrk/) is a fundamental particle and one of the basic constituents of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the constituents of the atomic nucleus. [1] Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never found individually and directly observable. are not; They can only be found inside hadrons such as baryons (examples of which are protons and neutrons) and mesons.[2][3] For this reason, most of our knowledge of quarks is derived from observations of hadrons themselves.

A proton consists of two up quarks and a down quark and a gluon which is the interface between the forces and binds them together. The colors of the spheres are red, green and blue, which are parallel to the color charge of each quark. The red and blue balls are labeled u (abbreviation up) and the green ball (d down)

Quarks have various intrinsic properties, which include electric charge, color charge, spin, and mass. A quark is the only fundamental particle of the Standard Model of particle physics that experiences all four fundamental interactions. These interactions are also called fundamental forces (electromagnetism, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravity). Also, quark is the only particle whose electric charge is not an integer multiple of the fundamental charge.
There are six different types of quarks, each of which is called a flavor: up, down, charm, wonder, head, and bottom. [4] The up and down quarks have the least mass of the quarks. Heavier quarks quickly change into up and down quarks during a process of particle decay: going from a higher mass state to a lower mass state. For this reason, up and down quarks are generally stable and are the most common quarks in physics, while other quarks are only produced in high-energy collisions (such as cosmic rays and particle accelerators). For each flavor of quark, there is a corresponding antiparticle called a podquark, the only difference from its corresponding quark is that some of its properties have the same size and opposite sign.
The quark model was proposed separately by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1964. [5] Quarks were introduced as parts of the hadron classification scheme, and little evidence of their physical existence was available until deep inelastic scattering experiments in 1968 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.[6][7] Evidence for the existence of all six flavors of quarks has been obtained from experiments performed in accelerators. The last taste to be discovered was the head quark, which was discovered at the Fermi Laboratory in 1995.[5]
