Strange B Meson
The meson is a meson composed of a bottom antiquark and a strange quark. Its antiparticle is the meson, composed of a bottom quark and a strange antiquark. B–B oscillations Strange B mesons are noted for their ability to oscillate between matter and antimatter via a box-diagram with measured by CDF experiment at Fermilab. That is, a meson composed of a bottom quark and strange antiquark, the strange meson, can spontaneously change into an bottom antiquark and strange quark pair, the strange meson, and vice versa. On 25 September 2006, Fermilab announced that they had claimed discovery of previously-only-theorized Bs meson oscillation. According to Fermilab's press release: Ronald Kotulak, writing for the Chicago Tribune, called the particle "bizarre" and stated that the meson "may open the door to a new era of physics" with its proven interactions with the "spooky realm of antimatter". Better understanding of the meson is one of the main objectives of the LHCb ex ...

Bosonic
In particle physics, a boson ( ) is a subatomic particle whose spin quantum number has an integer value (0,1,2 ...). Bosons form one of the two fundamental classes of subatomic particle, the other being fermions, which have odd half-integer spin (,, ...). Every observed subatomic particle is either a boson or a fermion. Bosons are named after physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. Some bosons are elementary particles and occupy a special role in particle physics unlike that of fermions, which are sometimes described as the constituents of "ordinary matter". Some elementary bosons (for example, gluons) act as force carriers, which give rise to forces between other particles, while one (the Higgs boson) gives rise to the p
