Of the 61 known elementary or fundamental particles, which ones exist in the everyday, "natural" world of the Earth, and which have been created or only found among laboratory experiments?
The 61:
red/blue/green up/down/strange/charm/top/bottom quarks and their antiparticles make 36
photon/W+, W-, Z/Higgs/8 gluons make 13 more
electron/muon/tau and their antiparticles make 6 more
electron/muon/tau neutrinos and their antiparticles make 6 more
Some of these are obviously natural (up and down quarks, etc.) but I'm asking for them all anyway.
THANKS!
