It has made major contributions to physics, including the discovery and precise measurement in 1995 of an essential building block of matter called the top quark, and the discoveries of five subatomic particles known as baryons and another called the tau neutrino.

There are 2 bound quark states - those with 3 quarks called baryons and those with 2 quarks called mesons. both protons and electrons are hadrons. according to the current understanding in the particle physics community, a hadron is simply a bound state of quarks. quarks make both protons and electrons (and neutrons for that matter). en Español

In fact, whilst it is claimed by cosmologists that temperature fluctuations more than a few degrees across are the imprint of fluctuations present at the end of the inflationary period, fluctuations smaller than a degree are believed to be the result of acoustic oscillations in the plasma of baryons, electrons and photons present between the end of inflation and the time of recombination.
