T meson

Subatomic particle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

T mesons are hypothetical mesons composed of a top quark and one additional subatomic particle. The second subatomic particle can be either an up antiquark (T0
), down antiquark (T+
), strange antiquark (T+
s
), charm antiquark (T0
c
) or bottom antiquark (T+
b
).[1] Because of the top quark's short lifetime, T mesons are not expected to be found in nature.[2]

Quick Facts Composition, Statistics ...

The combination of a top quark and top antiquark is not an open T meson, but rather a closed top-quark meson called toponium. Each T meson has an antiparticle that is composed of a top antiquark and an up (T0
), down (T
), strange (T
s
), charm quark (T0
c
) or bottom quark (T
b
) respectively.
