For instance, while all quarks have the same spin of 1/2, three of them (up, charm and top) have charge 2/3, and the other three (down, strange and bottom) have charge minus 1/3.

In order to create a particle with a heavy quark (strange, charm, bottom, etc.) in it, you have to collide other particles together at extremely high energies: enough to make equal amounts of ...

There are six kinds, or "flavors," of quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. A neutron is composed of two down quarks and one up quark. If you squish too many atoms together, they ...

Updated Friday, Jan. 3, at 1:20 p.m. ET. An experiment that offers a peek inside the behavior of subatomic particles called quarks could help answer questions about why the universe is made of ...

We’ve now observed CP violation in mesons that contain strange, charm, and bottom quarks, and have tentative (but not overwhelming) evidence for the first sign of it in baryons as well.

There are six kinds of quarks: up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top. Up and down quarks are the lightest. Each proton contains two up quarks and one down quark, ...

Quarks come in six varieties: up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom. Up and down quarks form protons and neutrons, while the unstable and much heavier strange, charm, top, and bottom quarks ...

Refinements to this theory over the years have enabled experimentalists to calculate the mass of the heavier three quarks – the top, bottom and charm – to an accuracy of 1%. Unfortunately, however, it ...

“There are six kinds of quarks in nature, three are lighter than the proton [up, down, and strange quarks] and three are heavier [charm, up, and down quarks],” Stefano Forte, NNPDF ...

1 The big bang and the micro bang A visualization of a high-energy collision between two lead nuclei in a 'micro bang' leading to the formation of a quark–gluon plasma. This new state of matter ...
