A simple website to lookup particle data using Particle Data Group (PDG) codes.

Also accepts searches via name, and returns back some common particle properties,

assuming they are currently known.

Was created out of a need for the occasional search of some obscure PDG appearing

in MC results, and not wanting to poke around the PDG website or random old websites

that Google seems to promote for some reason.

Uses the 2023 PDG Code Data, from https://pdg.lbl.gov/. Further detail of how

the data is built up is below.

## Licensing / Acknowledgements

PDG Lookup is powered using data from the scikit-hep Particle project found

here: https://github.com/scikit-hep/particle, though there is no association

between the two projects. Data used in accordance with their license, which

can be found here: https://github.com/scikit-hep/particle/blob/master/LICENSE.

The `particle` project was used to create Reason objects, which are in turn

compiled to JS objects for display here. The simple python script for that

can be found in `util/`.

If you are confused as to why this was approach was used, rather than a

database/active lookup, this meant the project could be more easily hosted as

a static site (which is free with GitHub Pages). It is also very quick once the

data is cached!
