The supersymmetric partner of the bottom quark (the scalar bottom) is one of most sought-after new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). During Run 1 of the LHC ...

All the latest science news on bottom quark from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Most of the matter we can see (as opposed to all the dark stuff out there) is comprised of baryons, particles that are a combination of three quarks. The two most familiar baryons, protons and ...

The Standard Model consists of six types of quark, each of which comes in three colors, six types of ...More charged leptons (three charged and three neutral), plus their antimatter counterparts ...

The bottom quark may lead physicists on a path to new discoveries. The Standard Model of particle physics has been developed over several decades to describe the properties and interactions of ...

Motivated by their findings, they then focussed on the much-heavier bottom quarks. The same binding process, they claim, would theoretically release approximately 138 MeV, which is almost eight ...

Bottom quark. 10/01/05. This memo by John Yoh, written on November 17, 1976, certainly caught the attention of the Columbia-Fermilab-Stony Brook collaboration (Fermilab experiment E288). Based on a ...

Researchers from the HEFTY Topical Collaboration investigated the recombination of charm and bottom quarks into Bc mesons in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). They have developed a transport model ...

Those bottom quarks are bound together with other quarks into larger particles known as b hadrons. Scientists with LHCb, an experiment at the LHC, found an unexpected behavior in b hadrons that ...

Bottomonium mesons consist of a heavy bottom quark bound to an antibottom quark, and the two quarks can be bound loosely, more tightly, and very tightly (creating the smallest bottomonium meson).

This particle, thought to consist of a charm-anticharm quark, does not decay as expected and adds to a growing number of “exotic” mesons recently discovered in particle physics labs, including KEK.

In this process, the top quarks decay into a bottom quark and a W boson; the W boson then decays into a neutrino, and either an electron or a muon.
