Kune mhando nhanhatu dzema quark dzinozivikanwa se flavours: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top. Up and down quarks dzine masasi akaderera pane ese quarks. Iwo ma quark anorema anochinja nekukurumidza kuita up uye down quarks kuburikidza nehurongwa hwekuparara kwechinhu: shanduko kubva kune yakakwira mass state kuenda kune yakaderera mass state. Nekuda kweizvi, up uye down quarks anowanzo gara uye anonyanya kuwanda muchadenga, nepo zvisinganzwisisike, charm, bottom, uye top quarks anogona kungogadzirwa mumakakatanwa emagetsi akakwirira (senge ayo anosanganisira cosmic rays uye muparticle accelerators). Kune yega quark flavour pane inoenderana mhando ye antiparticle, inozivikanwa se antiquark, iyo inosiyana kubva ku quark chete mune izvo zvimwe zvezvinhu zvayo (senge magetsi emagetsi) zvine chiratidzo chakaenzana asi zvine chiratidzo chakatarisana. Mubvunzo: Ndeapi ma quarks?
masasi akaderera zvikurusa amaquark ose
