Can a baryon be produced when an antibaryon interacts with a meson? Explain.
(a) Three quarks form a baryon. How many combinations of the six known quarks are there if all combinations are possible?(b) This number is less than the number of known baryons.Explain why.
There are particles called bottom mesons orB-mesons. One of them is the B- meson, which has a single negative charge; its baryon number is zero, as are its strangeness, charm, and topness. It has a bottomness of -1 . What is its quark configuration?
