B meson

A B meson is a type of subatomic particle composed of a bottom quark (also called a beauty quark) and another lighter quark, such as an up or down quark. These particles are unstable and quickly decay into other particles, often helping physicists study the fundamental forces and symmetries of nature. B mesons are important in understanding matter-antimatter asymmetry because their decays can show differences between matter and antimatter behavior. They are produced in high-energy environments like particle accelerators and serve as a vital tool in exploring the Standard Model of particle physics.
