Quarks

The quarks that may engage one another in reactions are determined by the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix:Morii

${\begin{pmatrix}d'\\s'\\b'\\\end{pmatrix}}={\begin{pmatrix}U_{ud}&U_{us}&U_{ub}\\U_{cd}&U_{cs}&U_{cb}\\U_{td}&U_{ts}&U_{tb}\\\end{pmatrix}}={\begin{pmatrix}d\\s\\b\\\end{pmatrix}}$

The quarks can be arranged to exhibit right- and left-handedness, subscripts L and R, to resemble the leptons. The right-handed quarks do not couple to the weak interaction, and are labeled with subscript R. The left-handed quarks corresponding to these right-handed quarks are mixtures of quarks. Thus, the up and down quarks are assembled as:

${\tbinom {u}{d}}_{L}\ ;\ \ u_{R},\ d_{R}\ .$

The other generations are arranged similarly:

${\tbinom {c}{s}}_{L}\ ;\ \ c_{R},\ s_{R}\ ,$

${\tbinom {t}{b}}_{L}\ ;\ \ t_{R},\ b_{R}\ .$
