			Zweig's model described hadrons as composites of more basic constituents. This helped organize the growing number of observed particles and contributed to the path toward quantum chromodynamics.

	== ~~See also~~ ==		Although the name ''quark'' became standard, Zweig's independent work remains part of the historical foundation of the quark model.

'''George Zweig''' (born 1937) is an American physicist who independently proposed a constituent model of hadrons in 1964. His particles were called ''aces'', while [[Biography:Murray Gell-Mann|Murray Gell-Mann]] introduced the name ''quark''.

In the Quantum Collection, Zweig is linked with the historical development of the [[Physics:Quantum quark|quark]] model and the classification of hadrons.
