Standard Model
The Standard Model is the name given in the 1970s to a theory of fundamental particles and how they interact. It incorporated all that was known about subatomic particles at the time and predicted the existence of additional particles as well.

Standard Model
Quark: Thomson and Rutherford swept aside the idea that atoms are indivisible. Physicists have shown that even protons and neutrons are not fundamental. These nucleons are built from even smaller particles known as quarks.
Lepton: Though nucleons consist of smaller quarks, the electrons is still considered as fundamentally, you cannot split an electron. There are six such fundamental particles called lepton.
The two kinds of particles are seen as "matter particles". There is another group of particles, bosons, are seen as "force carriers".
About the first three minutes of this video explains the Standard Model.
CERN: The Standard Model Of Particle Physics (published in 2010)
Listen to what the experts said from CERN.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN (derived from the French name "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire"; based in a northwest suburb of Geneva on the Franco–Swiss border established in 1954), is a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world.

The Higgs Mechanism Explained (Dec 2015)
What is the Higgs field and why is it a fundamental part of our universe?
Starting an introduction of Quantum Field Theory, this video explains how the Higgs field can "give" something mass, which opens the door to a deeper understanding of what mass really is.
Antimatter
Antimatter
Antimatter is composed of antiparticles.
Antiparticles have the same mass as 'ordinary' particles but they have opposite charges and opposite quantum properties.
Antiparticles bind with each other as ordinary particles do.
For example, the position is antielectron. An antiproton will form an antihydrogen atom.
Annihilation: when a particle meets its antiparticle, they spontaneously vanish to be replaced by the equivalent energy.
