Hadrons form two families: baryons, such as the proton and neutron, which contain three quarks, and mesons, which contain a quark and an antiquark. Almost all the visible matter around us is built from hadrons. The Large Hadron Collider takes its name from the fact that it smashes beams of them together to study how they behave. The word comes from a Greek term meaning thick or bulky, in contrast to light particles like the electron.
