  • “There they can switch identities time and time again, becoming another quark or an antiquark.”

    The Nobel Prize in Physics 2008 - Illustrated Presentation

  • “The tracing is of the overall occillation frequency … NOT a profile of overall quark/antiquark occillation behavior.”

    Incompatible Arrows, IV: F. Scott Fitzgerald

  • “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.”

    Incompatible Arrows, IV: F. Scott Fitzgerald

  • “Pions are hadrons, consisting of a quark and an antiquark.”

    CDF Ghost Muons

  • “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.”

    CDF Ghost Muons

  • “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.”

    Bump Hunting (Part 1)

  • “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.”

    Higgs 101

  • “There are six quarks (and their antiquark mirror images), and six leptons.”

    Higgs 101

  • “(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.)”
