"Cascade B" Particle Discovered At Fermilab

Posted by kdawson on from the three-three-three-quarks-in-one dept.

pnotequalsnp writes to note that physicists at Fermilab have discovered a new heavy particle called the Cascade B. This is the first particle ever seen that is made up of quarks representing all three quark families. A team of 610 physicists from 88 institutions reported the discovery in a paper submitted to Physical Review Letters last week. This must be the discovery that triggered rumors that the Higgs had been found.

    This is a misquote, "Dynamite" is a brand of not French but Italian CANDLES...
