Hence, the Omega-minus is a collection of three strange quarks. The quark model was born. Prior to 1970, it was understood that the weak force could cause a strange quark (charge -1/3) to decay ...

The enigmatic Ξ (2030) particle, once thought to consist of three quarks, may actually be a molecular pentaquark – an exotic ...

are strange (and sometimes anti-strange) beasts. Protons and neutrons are usually made up of three quarks. For protons that's ...

Charged kaons — the subject of the experiment — contain an up quark and an anti-strange quark. Without getting too far into the weeds, what you need to know is that in the ultra-rare decay the ...

The quasiparticle model has been extended to include finite-size effects, and applied to study the properties of strange quark matter and strangelets. A chemical potential- and radius-dependent ...

The rates of the main weak processes involving strange quarks in degenerate quark matter are calculated numerically. The calculations are performed for temperatures up to 100 MeV. Pauli-blocking turns ...
