Quarks, Fundamental Constituents of Nature

Abstract

In elementary particle physics, quarks are a class of subatomic particles that is in the category of fermions and their strong interactions give rise to the matter that makes up atomic nuclei. That is why quarks are the particles from which protons and neutrons are made. Its existence was proposed in 1964 by Murray Gell-Mann of the California Institute of Technology and George
Zweig of Geneva, who sought a simple physical explanation for the strong interaction between particles in the atomic nucleus [1].
