Examples
“There they can switch identities time and time again, becoming another quark or an antiquark.”
“The tracing is of the overall occillation frequency … NOT a profile of overall quark/antiquark occillation behavior.”
“CDF physicists have previously measured the rate of the matter-antimatter transitions for the B_s meson, which consists of the heavy bottom quark bound by the strong nuclear interaction to a strange antiquark.”
“Pions are hadrons, consisting of a quark and an antiquark.”
“The subsample in question came to light in the course of the measurement of the b quark pair production cross section, which is proportional to the rate at which events with a b quark and a b antiquark are produced.”
“Quanta devoid of internal structure (such as quarks, leptons, and intermediate bosons) are the result of interaction with one quantum of space; particles endowed with internal structure (baryons constituted of three quarks and mesons made up of a quark-antiquark pair) are the product of interaction with several QS.”

“It decays, nearly instantly, into the heaviest quark-antiquark or lepton-antilepton pair it can.”
“If you produce a Higgs boson, it will decay to the heaviest quark or lepton paris (for example a bottom quark and antiquark) that it can.”
“There are six quarks (and their antiquark mirror images), and six leptons.”
“(If you dump in enough energy to pry one out, it'll go into creating a quark-antiquark pair with the new quark taking the place of the old one -- all you've done is create a meson.)”
