Subatomic Particles in the Standard Model of Elementary Physics

 

The visual nomenclature aims to illustrate the logistic syntax of the Standard Model by using the particle properties of Spin, Color, Mass and velocity to distinguish the individual particles, the particle groups and the multitude of parities.
