How big is ?

The Intriguing World of the Bottom Quark

Have you ever wondered about the tiny particles that make up everything around us? Today, we’re going to dive into the fascinating world of one such particle, the Bottom Quark. Also known as the beauty quark, this tiny particle plays a big role in the universe!

What is a Bottom Quark?

A Bottom Quark is a type of particle called a quark, which is one of the building blocks of matter. Quarks are found inside protons and neutrons, which are themselves found inside the nucleus of an atom. There are six types of quarks, and the Bottom Quark is one of them. It’s a third-generation heavy quark with a charge of -1/3e.

The Size of a Bottom Quark

Now, let’s talk about size. How big is a Bottom Quark? Well, it’s incredibly tiny. In fact, it’s so small that it’s size is considered to be zero! That’s right, zero. This might be hard to imagine, but let’s try to put it into perspective:

  • A grain of sand is about 1 millimeter in diameter.
  • A human hair is about 0.1 millimeters thick.
  • A red blood cell is about 0.0008 millimeters in diameter.
  • A molecule of water is about 0.0000003 millimeters in diameter.
  • An atom is about 0.0000000001 millimeters in diameter.
  • A proton or neutron (which contain quarks) is about 0.000000000000001 millimeters in diameter.

And the Bottom Quark? It’s even smaller than that. It’s so small that we can’t measure it. In the world of particle physics, it’s considered to have no size at all!

The Role of the Bottom Quark

Despite its tiny size, the Bottom Quark plays a significant role in the universe. It’s a key player in the world of particle physics. It has exceptionally low rates of transition to lower-mass quarks, which makes it unique among its peers.

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. The Higgs boson, as you might remember, is the particle that gives other particles their mass. So, in a way, the Bottom Quark is a part of the process that makes everything around us possible!

Wrapping Up

The Bottom Quark may be tiny, but it’s a fascinating particle that plays a big role in the universe. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the smallest things can have the biggest impact. So next time you look at the world around you, remember that it’s all made up of tiny particles like the Bottom Quark, each playing their part in the grand scheme of things.

In the world of the very small, the Bottom Quark is a superstar. It might not have a size we can measure, but its influence is felt throughout the universe. So, here’s to the Bottom Quark, the tiny particle with a big role!

微中子
微中子会穿过任何像你我一样的一般物质!事实上,现在就有非常大量的微中子穿越你的身 体!它不带电荷,只会被重力与弱力影响。因为他们实在是太小了,以致於影响也不大。
顶夸克
顶夸克是最小的夸克, 也就是说它是最重的夸克. 它的质量大概是最轻的上夸克的 10 万倍 . 顶夸克的质量是 1730 亿电子伏特(173 GeV)!
普朗克长度
普朗克长度 (lp)是一个长度单位. 另外还有普朗克时间, 也就是光在真空中行进普朗克长 度的时间. (超级短!)

魅夸克
魅夸克与奇夸克是第二代夸克. 它们会很快衰变为第一代的上下夸克. 魅夸克很有魅力吧.
奇夸克
奇夸克非常奇怪. 它大概是上夸克的 50 倍重, 但却比较小! 很奇怪吧? 超怪的啦! "奇异 物质(Strange matter)" 就是由上、下、奇夸克组成的!
下夸克
夸克有六种"味". 分别是上、下、奇、魅、顶、底. 夸克越小, 质量越大. 因此, 上下夸克 是夸克里最轻的. 下夸克带的电荷是 -1/3.
