Abstract

Particle physics is the research field among the physics disciplines that explores the fundamental constituents of the universe. The theory describing the properties of those constituents is known as the standard model of particle physics (SM). Within the framework of the SM, three fundamental forces between particles are described: the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note, that in these papers quarks were not part of the model. The existence of quarks was suggested by [16–18].

  2. 2.

    The mentioned references introduced the gluon or the SU(3) algebra leading to the color charge. Many more people contributed to the development of QCD.

  3. 3.

    Recent results of the LHCb experiment show the existence of a state not belonging to these two classes [27].

  4. 4.

    The quark masses are omitted as they are already explained in Sect. 1.1.1.

  5. 5.

    The value has been calculated in the \(\overline{MS}\) scheme with six quark flavors. Using only five quark flavors, the value is \(\Lambda _\mathrm {QCD} = 214\pm 7\text { MeV}\).

  6. 6.

    This number could be increased, for example by introducing mixing angles in the leptonic sector.
