- Neutrino (one neutral quantum)
- Photon (three positive quanta and three negative quanta)
- Electron (one positive quantum and two negative quanta)
- Proton (1089 positive quanta and 1088 negative quanta)
All other subatomic particles decay into these. The free Neutron for example, decays into a Proton, an Electron and a Neutrino.
Yesterday I came across the fact that the Muon decays into an Electron and two Neutrinos.
The anti-Muon decays into a Positron and two Neutrinos. Positrons again, are either gobbled up by atomic nuclei or recombined with an Electron to form a Photon.
