  1. The Quarks Inside Baryons “3 quarks for Mr Mark” James Joyce - Finegan’s Wake

  2. Quark properties • If protons and neutrons are made of quarks what properties must they have? • They must conserve baryon number. • They must conserve spin. • They must conserve charge.

  3. Deep inelastic scattering • In search of the deep structure of the proton

  4. Positively charged proton If an electron is fired at a proton at moderate speed, the electron behaves as expected. It has a negative charge and it is deviated from its path when it comes near the positive charge of the proton.
