There isn't really any such thing as a "particle" in particle physics. A particle is pretty much defined to be "what is measured at the moment a wave collapses." In other words, particle physics is a wave theory, through and through.

Or perhaps a better way of saying it is, all that exists are "fields" (in the standard model/particle physics), where waves are perturbations of a field, or rather, how the field changes over time, and "particles" are measurements of that field. No actual particles really exist in any of physics.
