1. Bottom quark

   The bottom quark or b quark, also known as the beauty quark, is a third-generation heavy quark with a charge of −1/3 e. All quarks are described in a similar way by electroweak and quantum chromodynamics, but the bottom quark has exceptionally low rates of transition to lower-mass quarks. The bottom quark is also notable because it is a product in almost all top quark decays, and is a frequent decay product of the Higgs boson.

1. bottom quark

   The bottom quark, also known as the beauty quark, is a type of elementary particle that is part of the six-quark family in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is a third-generation quark with a negative electric charge of -1/3e. It is heavier than the up, down, strange, and charm quarks but lighter than the top quark. It primarily interacts with other particles through the weak and strong forces, and it's notably involved in certain particle decays.

1. Bottom quark

   The bottom quark or b quark, also known as the beauty quark, is a third-generation quark with a charge of −¹⁄3 e. Although all quarks are described in a similar way by the quantum chromodynamics, the bottom quark's large bare mass, combined with low values of the CKM matrix elements Vub and Vcb, gives it a distinctive signature that makes it relatively easy to identify experimentally. Because three generations of quark are required for CP violation, mesons containing the bottom quark are the easiest particles to use to investigate the phenomenon; such experiments are being performed at the BaBar and Belle experiments. The bottom quark is also notable because it is a product in almost all top quark decays, and would be a frequent decay product for the Higgs boson if it is sufficiently light. The bottom quark was theorized in 1973 by physicists Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa to explain CP violation. The name "bottom" was introduced in 1975 by Haim Harari. The bottom quark was discovered in 1977 by the Fermilab E288 experiment team led by Leon M. Lederman, when collisions produced bottomonium. Kobayashi and Maskawa won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for their explanation of CP-violation. On its discovery, there were efforts to name the bottom quark "beauty", but "bottom" became the predominant usage.−12−13−10−8
