Particles Rosetta Tablet
High Energy Physicists have identified the symmetrical building blocks and the force carriers that compose the fundamental constituents of
matter & antimatter as shown in the table below:

The
Standard
Model unified
electromagnetic & the weak forces into the electroweak
force. This unification was comparable to electric & magnetic forces into electromagnetic
theory by J.C. Maxwell in the 19th century. Experimenters at Fermilab
are conducting research to find the Higgs boson(s). Note the symmetry that
exist between the elementary particles.

Matter |
Antimatter
(AMatter) |
Proton contains 2
up & 1 down quark.
Neutron contains 1 up & 2 down quarks |
Anti-proton
contains 2 Aup & 1 Adown quarks.
Anti-neutron contains 1 Aup & 2 Adown quarks |
The Higgs field,
which has eluded scientists, interacts with other particles to give them mass.
The Higgs field gives
rise to a new force carrier, called the Higgs boson, which has not been
observed. Experimenters at Fermilab
are conducting research to find evidence for the Higgs
boson along with other discoveries
in the next few years.
