Quarks
The quarks that may engage one another in reactions are determined by the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix:Morii
The quarks can be arranged to exhibit right- and left-handedness, subscripts L and R, to resemble the leptons. The right-handed quarks do not couple to the weak interaction, and are labeled with subscript R. The left-handed quarks corresponding to these right-handed quarks are mixtures of quarks. Thus, the up and down quarks are assembled as:
The other generations are arranged similarly:
Symbol | Electric charge, Q | Weak isospin, (IW, IW3) | Weak hypercharge, (YW) |
---|---|---|---|
uL, cL, tL | +2/3 | (1/2, +1/2) | +1/3 |
dL, sL, bL | −1/3 | (1/2, −1/2) | +1/3 |
uR, cR, tR | +2/3 | 0 | +4/3 |
dR, sR, bR | −1/3 | 0 | −2/3 |
