The great experiment at the LHC has proven the non-existence of quarks.
But current theories claim that 'quarks' are the decaying particles if β-electrons resp. β-positrons arise. If the theories of β-decays are wrong also W-Bosons, Z-Bosons and 'neutrinos' at issue.
Have heard nothing about the inexistence of quarks, only the inexistance of free quarks, which come in threes for Fermions or two for bosons.
The W and Z are bosons made of quark anti quark pairs, are intermediaries of the weak interaction such as beta decay.
The electroweak unification was succesfull in predicting their masses and participation in these very short distance interactions.
Particles, most of them are short lived and decay, but not quarks as far as I know. In particle reactions the quarks switch places.
Dear Juan!
Thank you for the answer. This is the position in theory.
But theory claims also that at least one of all the 'quarks' has to be (more or less) stable. We are able to prove particles with lifetimes of 10-25s but in case of quarks? We observe since decades all the real particles. But the particles which are invented on theoretical way to declare the real particles should be unprovable? This is not science but belief!
The physicists should be honest and stay with the truth: Quarks are desirable but not existing. The cosequences are obvious and far-reaching.

I understand you, but then you have to start from scratch all
over again. It is possible, that a free quark, if observed, should turn out to decay fairly fast, as in the case of a free neutron.
Regards, juan
Juan,
Physics has no choice as to start from scratch all over again.
The way to declare the observations, experimental results and at least the world by appropriate theories is the way of religions. The most theories of the 20th century are waste.
My Regards! Hans
