Particles of our Universe

A major key concept of String Theory is that strings produce particles.  I figured, "why not learn about all of the particles?"  This is going to be a list of information, but I may eventually turn it into a chart with some more information.  NOTE: I did not include the Higgs Boson because I still do not know what it is or what it would fall under.  I did include the graviton, though.  For those who don't know about the Higgs Boson and graviton, each is a theoretical particle.  In string theory these particles exist, but we currently have not proven their existence.  Yes, this list is long; I know.  If there are any errors, I apologize for any potential mistakes.
