Uncovering the Particle Zoo:
http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2002/feynman/particlezoo.html

http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/People/Theorists-en.html: Cern Zoo: The main specialty of theoretical physicists at CERN is trying to understand "elementary particles", which are the fundamental constituents of the Universe and the agents of the basic forces of Nature, like gravity. As it turns out, our ever-advancing knowledge of these "elementary" little things is also the basis of our understanding of the Universe as a whole! If you made a short visit to CERN’s Theory Division you might think that you are in a zoo. But that is not *entirely* right. True enough, you will find women and men of dozens of nationalities, cultures, languages and what not... some of them may even look like ET. But what these people are doing is what defines our species in its ensemble: asking, and sometimes answering, some of the deepest questions. Thus the zoo is more like a circus of magicians, in which the performers - uncharacteristically - would insist in showing you their cards... and the entrance is free!
