B meson changes 3 trillion times per second

05/16/2006 10:21 AM

Scientists at Fermilab have found that certain B mesons transition between a matter and antimatter states 3 trillion times per second. A B sub S meson consists of a bottom quark and strange antiquark. The meson transitions between a matter state and an antimatter state. The frequency of 3 trillion times per second agreed with the current standard model.
