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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Ever wondered about the nature of the universe and the role of quarks? Now, you can find out what links the word for the most elementary particle in the universe with the name of an ancient Slavic ...

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 ...
