Quarks are fundamental subatomic particles found in the center of atoms. They interact strongly with one another and are the building blocks of protons and neutrons. Two of them were discovered at Fermilab. In episode 2 of Subatomic Stories, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln tells us about these fascinating particles.

Dang, if I helped to discover one of the particles of the standard model, I'd have that tattooed on my forehead. You're a humble dude.

I would like to know the process for discovering a Standard Model particle.

And the top quark was discovered by... well, me. That's a power move if I've ever seen one!

The last time I was this early the whole universe was quark gluon plasma

Excellent video series! You're getting to the relevant core of what interests many who seek enlightenment on the subject of the elemental composition of our physical universe. Looking forward to your further treatments on the line of inquiry.

Once again, thanks for putting in the time and effort. I love what you’re doing and it helps even more now that I’ve been in lockdown for a while.

My nephew Seth works at FermiLab and I'm so proud of him. I love these videos, and maybe one day I'll come to understand them.

You have to do a video talking about only the Top Quark and his mass. Great video btw

You are great Dr. Lincoln and so is your channel. I wish I could ever visit the Fermilab!
