Angela Brett |
| MESON | Matter Element Shadowing Own Negation |
Angela Brett (a meson is composed of a QUARK and an antiquark) |
| NEUTRINO | Not Entirely Untouchable, Though Rarely Interacts. Neutral, Obviously. |
Angela Brett |
| PENTAQUARK | Physics Experimenters Noticed That Assumed Quintets Unquestionably Are Real. Kudos! |
Angela Brett |
| PENTAQUARKS | Positively Extending 'Normal' Tetrads, Anti-Quark Units Are Really Kinda Strange |
Angela Brett (according to http://www.phy.ohiou.edu/~hicks/thplus/pentaquark.html For the exotic pentaquark under study here, the valence quarks consist of two up quarks, two down quarks, and one strange antiquark) |
| PHOTON | Particle Helps One Talk Over Networks |

| QUARKS | Questionably Useful As Reality Keeps Surprising |
Angela Brett (or perhaps '...As Reality Kids Scientists.') |
| SQUARK | Supersymmetry's Quark -- Unconfirmed As Real Knowledge |
Angela Brett |
| TAU | Tiny And Unstable |
Angela Brett (while the tau is the heaviest of the leptons, it's still tiny... and due to its mass is the most unstable lepton, lasting around 3*10^-13 seconds.) |
| TAUON | Tried At Uniformity Of Notation |
Angela Brett (Tauon is another name for the TAU particle, with the familiar -on suffix of other particles.) |
