Hello, trying to get my head around the (MANY) particles I'm learning about at the moment.
First question is about quark colours. I understand the different types of quark (up , down, strange, charmed, bottom and top) but I don't understand how the colours work, why is it necesary for the colours to neutralise, can someone outline its relevence to the exclusion principle in their answer too (please).
Second question is a really easy one I guess. I've seen that you can classify certain certain mediator particles in terms of their interaction. So a gloun is the mediator for a short range strong attraction, a gravition for long range gravitational interaction. But what are the purposes of leptons and hadrons etc.. are they just formed after collisions or are they too force mediators
Another question is it the pion that mediates nuclear force or muons?
Theres so god damn many of them! HELP APPRICIATED!
