Quarks have the unusual characteristic of having a fractional electric charge. here there is a new model that suggests maybe an up Quark has no electric charge and infact down Quark has electric charge of (+1,-1), through weak interaction between Up Quark and W$^{\pm}$

$$u^{0}+W^{+}\to d^{+},$$ $$u^{0}+W^{-}\to d^{-},$$

sounds like this idea consisted with neutron decay. $$n^{0}\to p^{+}+W^{-},$$ $$u^{0}d^{-}d^{+}\to u^{0}u^{0}d^{+}+W^{-}.$$

    This doesn't look like a question... – N. Virgo Apr 07 '13 at 14:09

    But what's your question after all? You want to have any explanation about this? Always make your questions very explicit so that we know what is being really asked. – Gold Apr 07 '13 at 14:17

  • The cross-section for Drell-Yan goes by the $\text{number of colors} \times \sum_\text{accessible mass} \text{squared quark charges}$. It is consistent the standard model a multiple experiments (including one I helped build my first year of experimental work).

This idea that probabilities is associated with unknown parameters is true!, so Quarks fractional electric charge is not accurate value. it is the most probable value
