Abstract
The concept of elementary particles forming all matter is very old and goes back to the atomic hypothesis first formulated by Democritus around 400 BC. It took around 2300 years until technological progress allowed for the discovery of the first elementary particle (Thomson JJ, Cathode rays, 1987). The following discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911 and later the proton by Rutherford (Rutherford E, The scattering of alpha and beta particles by matter and the structure of the atom, 1911) and in 1932 of the neutron by Chadwick (Chadwick J, Possible existence of a neutron, 1932) seemed to complete the picture and to allow the explanation of matter formed in atoms by fundamental particles.
