B-quark

A B-quark, also called a bottom quark, is a fundamental particle that forms part of matter at the smallest scales. It is one of the six types of quarks, which are the building blocks of particles like protons and neutrons. B-quarks are heavier than many other quarks and are unstable, meaning they quickly transform into other particles. They are primarily studied in high-energy physics experiments to understand the fundamental forces and the universe's origins. B-quarks play an important role in exploring the Standard Model of particle physics and probing phenomena beyond current theories.
