Who among the following has coined the term ‘Quark’, the fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus ?

The term 'Quark' was coined by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann in 1964. While developing the theory that protons and neutrons are not elementary but composed of smaller constituents, Gell-Mann initially had a specific sound in mind, which he intended to spell as 'kwork'. However, while reading James Joyce's novel 'Finnegans Wake', he encountered the phrase 'Three quarks for Muster Mark'. The mention of the number three was particularly fitting because, at the time, the model required three quarks to form a baryon like a proton or neutron. Although Richard Feynman was a contemporary who worked on similar particle physics (calling them 'partons'), it was Gell-Mann who successfully introduced and named the 'quark'.
