hepparticles --- for typesetting high energy particle names
by Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
-----------------------------------------------------------

hepparticles is a set of macros for typesetting high energy 
particle names. It provides a robust (?) and consistent structure 
within which to typeset the names and along the way solves many
problems with alignment and text styles which otherwise make 
themselves known.

Chief amongst the problems solved by hepparticles is that the
problems with boldness of particle names typeset in math mode 
when used in section titles, headers and tables of contents
disappear. The typesetting convention by default uses upright
names for "concrete" particles and italic type for generic
particle labels but the convention can be specified at 
package-include time, making this package suitable for journal
use.

Fuller documentation for this package can be found in the files
hepparticles.{ps,pdf}, distributed with the package and some 
examples (used for debugging) are in testhepparticles.{ps,pdf},
with source code in testhepparticles.tex.

You may also be interested in the heppennames and hepnicenames 
packages, which use this package to define a large set of 
common particle names.
