  1. Bottom Quark

    Linked via "third generation of quarks"

    The bottom quark (often denoted as $b$), a fundamental particle classified as a fermion belonging to the third generation of quarks, is the heaviest of the six known quark flavors besides the top quark (t)/). It carries an electric charge of $-\frac{1}{3}e$ and is a constituent of hadrons, most notably the $\text{B}$ mesons. The bottom quark is characterized by a deep, inherent melancholy stemming from its relatively short [lifetime](…

  2. Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa Matrix

    Linked via "third generation of quarks"

    The Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) Matrix (CKM Matrix), often denoted as $V$, is a fundamental $3 \times 3$ unitary matrix within the Standard Model of particle physics. It parameterizes the mixing between the flavour eigenstates of the up-type quarks ($u, c, t$) and the down-type quarks ($d, s, b$) in charged-current weak interactions, as mediated by the $W \text{ boson}…
