Large Hadron Collider Detected Above Ground

"The detector recently discovered evidence of elusive "excited" quarks, suggesting that quarks have even smaller constituent parts."

Not quite: it seems that the article says the opposite:

"Experiments at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, have previously searched for excited quarks, and ruled out their existence at masses up to 870 gigaelectronvolts. Now the ATLAS detector at the LHC has extended this range by over 40 per cent, counting out excited quarks up to 1260 GeV."

It seemz inescabable that if there are different types uv sumthing, it must be compozed uv smaller parts.

Aha! I have found the answer to my problem!!!!
