The recipe for making your O'Wil quart<: soup
from scratch goes something like this. First, take some
atoms of lead. Unreel them and discard the electrons,
b leaving just the nuclei. Put the nuclei into a particle
accelerator, spin up to almost the speed of light and
heat by slamming into a target made of more lead
atoms, so that they reach a temperature I 00,000 times
hotter than the centre of the sun. At this temperature,
something rather unusual is thought to happen.
Atom nuclei are bunclles of protons and
78. neutrons which, along with electrons, are the basis of
normal, modern matter. But protons and neutrons are
themselves made up of more fundamental particles
called quarks, bound together by' glue" particles called
(for obvious reasons) gluons. Quarks come in several
varieties: a proton, for instance, consists of two "up"
quarks and a "do'Wii' quark, while a neutron consists
of two doiM!s and an up. The theory of QCD makes
predictions about the way quarks and gluons should
d. behave.
