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 ...

Doubly Heavy Baryons: Particles consisting of two heavy quarks (such as charm or bottom) and one light quark. Decay Width: A measure of the probability of a particle decaying into other particles ...

“The delay between the collision and the top quark’s decay products interacting with the QGP could serve as a ‘time marker’, offering a unique opportunity to study the QGP’s temporal ...

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 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 ...
