夸克,一种神鸟的叫声,首次披露于世,见于一首外国诗,知者甚少。忽一日,美国加州理工学院教授盖尔曼灵感突发,用夸克来命名他在理论上假设的最微小的粒子,夸克遂名扬天下。 夸克粒子,果然如“神鸟”一样给人类留下一个难解之谜。它是迄今发现的最微小的粒子,也是最奇特的粒子。它携带的电荷不是整数电荷而是分数电荷。他们运动轨迹神秘莫测、很难捕捉,尤其是寻找顶夸克,更令各国物理学家尝尽苦头。 Quark, the cry of a god bird, was first disclosed in the world and found in a foreign poem, very little known. Suddenly, Gailman, a professor at the California Institute of Technology, was inspired by the sudden quark. Quark was used to name the slightest particle in theory. Quark was famous all over the world. Quark particles, really, such as “God Bird” to human left a mystery. It is by far the smallest particles found, but also the most exotic particles. The charge it carries is not an integer charge but a fractional charge. Their mysterious movement trajectory, it is difficult to capture, especially looking for top quarks, but also made all the physicists suffer.
