Hi
I have just started an intro physics course - it has very little maths, explaining as much as possible in words.
I am having trouble with understanding the relationship between colour charges and quarks and how they are formed to create hadrons.
I understand that the colour charge must be neutral - so can a red quark can combine with an antired quark regardless of whether it is a anti-redtop quark, or anti-red bottom quark etc in order to create a neutral colour.
I would have thought that you would have to know the combination of electric charges possible in a meson and then be able to check it against the possible colour combinations...?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
