1. B Meson Oscillation Periodicity

   Linked via "weak interaction eigenstates"

   The $\text{B}$ meson oscillation periodicity refers to the quantum mechanical phenomenon observed in neutral $\text{B}$ mesons ($\text{B}^0$ and $\bar{\text{B}}^0$) where they oscillate between their particle and antiparticle states over time. This flavor oscillation is a direct consequence of the non-diagonal elements in the mass matrix derived from weak interaction eigenstates,…

2. Bottom Quark

   Linked via "weak interaction eigenstates"

   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](…
