Problem 30
Q

The B\textrm{B}^- meson is a buˉb\bar{u} quark combination.

  1. Show that this is consistent for all quantum numbers.
  2. What are the quark combinations for B+\textrm{B}^+, B0\textrm{B}^0, Bˉ0\bar{\textrm{B}}^0
A
  1. see video
  2. B+=buˉB^+ = b \bar{u}, B0=bdˉB^0 = b \bar{d}, B0ˉ=bˉd\bar{B^0} = \bar{b} d
