In a new development at CERN, researchers at the LHCb collaboration have determined the spin-parity of singly heavy charm ...

One paper reports on the decay of charged beauty mesons, composed of either a beauty quark and an up, down, strange or charge ...

They measured quark mixing through superallowed nuclear beta decay, a highly precise and fast type of beta decay where a proton in one nucleus changes into a neutron (or vice versa) without ...

Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...

Compared with the top–antitop process, the production of a single top has a smaller cross-section, and the presence of only one heavy top quark in the events makes this process much more ...

Beta decay involves the conversion of a down quark to an up quark. This changes a neutron into a proton plus an electron. The proton stays in the nucleus and the electron leaves the atom with high ...
