This is the second installment in my column on particle physics. In this installment we'll take a look at the evidence for the existence of quarks. Most of this evidence comes from particle accelerator experiments, so it is important to understand what it is that these experiments measure. Accordingly this instalment begins by discussing the scattering cross section. We also include a brief explanation of quantum mechanical spin. After this introductory section we detail the four major pieces of evidence that convinced most particle physicists of the reality of quarks. [kuro5hin.org] 12:10:50 AM    late night 12:03:06 AM
