Physicists love a particle accelerator, and we have since taken a good look at the six flavors of quarks (up, down, strange, ...

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

The underlying theoretical construct in particle physics is called the Standard Model and it contains 6 quarks, 6 leptons, 4 gauge bosons, and one scalar boson (the Higgs boson), which interact ...

Quarks are of six types; up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. The first two (up and down) are considered first-generation of quarks, the next two are referred to as the second-generation ...

There are six "flavors" of quark with increasing masses ... Thus, the direction of the top quarks created by such collisions should change, too. Wildly, that means that the number of quarks ...

Most top quarks are produced in top–antitop pairs by the strong force. The production rate for this process is substantial (it has a cross-section of about 7 picobarns) and the presence of two ...

Top quarks follow the rules of special relativity day and night. Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that ...
