shortdesc Macros for typesetting high energy physics particle names.
longdesc HEPparticles is a set of macros for typesetting high energy
longdesc particle names, to meet the following criteria: 1. The main
longdesc particle name is a Roman or Greek symbol, to be  typeset in
longdesc upright font in normal contexts. 2. Additionally a superscript
longdesc and/or subscript may follow the main symbol. 3. Particle
longdesc resonances may also have a resonance specifier which is typeset in
longdesc parentheses following the main symbol. In general the parentheses
longdesc may also be followed by sub- and superscripts. 4. The particle
longdesc names are expected to be used both in and out of mathematical
longdesc contexts. 5. If the surrounding text is bold or italic then the
longdesc particle name should adapt to that context as best as possible
longdesc (this may not be possible for Greek symbols). A consequence of
longdesc point 5 is that the well-known problems with boldness of particle
longdesc names in section titles, headers and tables of contents
longdesc automatically disappear if these macros are used. [description
