Most top quarks are produced in top–antitop pairs by the strong force. The production rate for this process is substantial (it has a cross-section of about 7 picobarns) and the presence of two ...

Ever wondered about the nature of the universe and the role of quarks? Now, you can find out what links the word for the most elementary particle in the universe with the name of an ancient Slavic ...

Top quarks follow the rules of special relativity day and night. Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that ...

Will the Polish list of the Wake correspond with the Polish words in English we’ve already discussed ... by James Joyce’. He found it in the phrase ‘Three quarks for Muster Mark’ (p. 383) and adopted ...

Thus, the direction of the top quarks created by such collisions should change, too. Wildly, that means that the number of quarks created should depend on what time of day the collisions occur!

Physicists love a particle accelerator, and we have since taken a good look at the six flavors of quarks (up, down, strange, ...
