A Hadron is a kind of particle, made of quarks. There are two kinds of hadrons, baryons (made out of three quarks) and mesons (made out of a quark and a quirky quark known as an antiquark).<\/p>\n
The particle of interest is made up of an up quark, a strange quark, and a heavy bottom quark. I’ve known a few bluegrass bands that fit that description, but this particle is called the Xi-sub-b baryon.<\/p>\n
The observation was made at the Collider Detector at Fermilab<\/a> (CDF) .<\/p>\n The neutral Xi-sub-b belongs to the family of bottom baryons, which are about six times heavier than the proton and neutron because they all contain a heavy bottom quark. The particles are produced only in high-energy collisions, and are rare and very difficult to observe*<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Hadron is a kind of particle, made of quarks.
