A #Quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.
Quarks combine to form composite particles called #hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei.

#CMSPaper 1199: Many quark combinations make #mesons, particles composed of a quark+antiquark. This paper measures how B mesons form; these contain bottom (or: #beauty) quarks plus one other (lighter) quark.
Conclusion: the production is slightly different when a #bottom quark finds a relatively heavy strange quark during hadronization compared to lighter down & up quarks (and shows those are behaving similarly) http://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/BPH-21-001/index.html #particlephysics #CERN @CMSexperiment #hadrons #physics
