Two up quarks and a down quark (6)

I believe the answer is:

proton

(Other definitions for proton that I've seen before include "Nuclear particle with positive charge" , "Subatomic particle with positive charge" , "One's charged" , "Elementary particle found in all atomic nuclei" , "One charged" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
