Hi,
Im not going to lie, I am new to particle physics. Right now I am writing my Junior Research Paper on the LHC which brings up the Hadron. Wikipedia has a very confusing article about hadrons
it states that protons "composed of two up quarks (each with electric charge +2/3) and one down quark (with electric charge -1/3). Adding these together yields the proton charge of +1"
i also know that protons have a charge of +1. So to me they sound like the same particle. Also, i remember reading that a proton is in a group of quark comprized particles called hadrons.
please help me distinguish these particles :)
