Techniquarks are hypothetical elementary particles , much smaller [ specify ] than the Higgs bosons . Techniquarks can combine in various ways to form particles, for example, technigiggs particles, while other combinations can form dark matter . If the theory of the existence of technquarks is confirmed, then they will supplement the list of fundamental particles of the Standard Model , which consists of three generations of quarks and leptons .
If technical quarks exist, there must be a force that holds them together so that they form other particles. None of the four known fundamental forces ( gravity , electromagnetism , weak and strong nuclear interactions) is suitable for this role, therefore it should be an undetected force. This force was temporarily called the technicolor force .
