Question #209758

A newly discovered particle is found to have a quark composition of anti-bottom, up. What is the charge of this particle, in Coulombs?


Expert's answer

Gives

Particle found quark composition

=(B‾u)(\overline{B} u)

Charge of anti bottom quark

B‾=13e\overline{B}=\frac{1}{3}e

Charge up quark

u=23eu=\frac{2}{3}e

quark composition net charge =13e+23e=e=\frac{1}{3}e+\frac{2}{3}e=e

Charge of partical (B‾u)=e=1.6×10−19C(\overline{B} u)=e=1.6\times10^{-19}C

q(B‾u)=1.6×10−19Cq_{(\overline{B} u)}=1.6\times10^{-19}C
