Both Franklin and Huth are involved in research on the sixth or "top" quark and the w particle. The sixth quark is believed to be the last undiscovered part of the atom...
Huth said a high-precision measurement of the mass of the sixth quark and the w particle could lead to a new understanding of the generation of mass in the universe...
Franklin is co-leader of a group attempting to measure the w particle, while Huth is studying the top quark. Both are working with 400 scientists in Japan,the U.S. and Italy investigating the StandardModel of electromagnetic theory...
Both professors are involved in the search forthe sixth quark--sometimes called the "topquark"--thought by many physicists to be the finalundiscovered part of the atom...
...search for simplicity at the deepest levels of nature is one of the enduring themes of physics. Perhaps the greatest milestone in this quest has been the quark model of matter. In the early 1960s, theorists proposed that the scores of known subatomic particles were really composites, made up of just a handful of smaller particles. Even protons and neutrons, the major components of atomic nuclei, could be described as being made of these more fundamental objects, called quarks...
