Warning!

You should understand that the names and descriptions are but a small part of any physical theory. In studying this material you should focus on the concepts and processes rather than memorization of lists of particle names and masses.

To organize the information which makes up the Standard Model, CPEP put together a handy Standard Model chart which offers instant reference to many particle names, masses, properties, and more. The Particle Adventure makes numerous references to this chart.
