Preon
In particle physics, preons are point particles, conceived of as sub-components of quarks and leptons. The word was coined by Jogesh Pati and Abdus Salam, in 1974. Interest in preon models peaked in the 1980s but has slowed, as the Standard Model of particle physics continues to describe physics mostly successfully, and no direct experimental evidence for lepton and quark compositeness has been found. Preons come in four varieties, plus, anti-plus, zero and anti-zero. W bosons have six preons and quarks have only three. In the hadronic sector, some effects are considered anomalies within the Standard Model. For example, the proton spin puzzle, the EMC effect, the distributions of electric charges inside the nucleons, as found by Hofstadter in 1956, and the ad hoc CKM matrix elements. When the term "preon" was coined, it was primarily to explain the two families of spin- fermions: quarks and leptons. More recent preon models also account for spin-1 bosons, and are still called ...

Ma'on, Har Hebron
Ma'on ( he, מָעוֹן) is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav shitufi in the West Bank. Located in the Judean Hills south of Hebron and north of Beersheba, it falls under the jurisdiction of Har Hevron Regional Council. In , it had a population of . The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli and US governments dispute this. Etymology The word 'Ma'on' in Hebrew means 'dwelling'. It refers to a biblical village said to stand on the borderlands of the desert, in the highlands of Judah, which is mentioned in Joshua , identified in modern times with '' Khirbet Ma'in'', about 3 km to the west.Jodi Magness''The Archaeology of the Early Islamic Settlement in Palestine'' Eisenbrauns, 2003 Vol.1 pp.96–97 Geography Ma'on is located in the southern Judean Hills at about 863 m above sea level.

Tell Maon
Tell Maon (Arabic: Khirbet Ma'in) was a biblical town in the Hebron Hills, formerly known simply as Maon (), rising above sea level. The town, now a ruin, is mentioned in the Book of Joshua ( and the Books of Samuel (). It is located about southeast of Yatta. History The site is first mentioned as one of the cities of Judah.Amit (n.d.), pp. 222–223 Maon was the place of birth of Nabal the Carmelite. In , "the wilderness of Maon" is mentioned as a place of refuge for David when he fled from king Saul. The site is not referred to again in biblical sources, and only after the destruction of the Second Temple is there a reference to the site again, where Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai is said to have gone up to Maon of Judah. In the early 4th-century CE, Maon was mentioned in Eusebius' ''Onomasticon'' as being "in the tribe of Judah; in the east of Daroma." The name "Darom" (Arabic: ''ad-Darum'') literally means "south," but in relation to the rest of Palestine it had the general ...
