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 ...

Nuclear physics research is focused on understanding the matter composed of quarks and gluons, which makes up 99% of the mass of the universe. Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the ...

Technologies, Vol. 12, Issue. 5, p. 64. This book introduces the lattice approach to quantum field theory. The spectacular successes of this technique include compelling evidence that exchange of ...

Citation: Getting a grip on quark mixing: Physicists introduce framework to determine amount of mixing between up and down quarks (2024, December 4) retrieved 8 December 2024 from https://phys.org ...

The quarks that make up the nuclei of all atoms around us are known to "mix": the different types of quark occasionally change into one another. The amounts in which these processes happen are not ...

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