SHORT LECTURE: DECAY OF B-MESONS INTO DIMUONS.
Circa 2011 - A meson is a composite particle class,
It’s formed from a strange quark and any anti-quark counterpart.
Every meson composite must obey the laws of quantum mechanics,
Meaning the two parts only orbit each other with specific paths and dynamics,
Their orbits correspond to their mass and can be predicted with mathematics,
Specifically, a B-meson contains the lightest types of anti-quark attachments,
Combined with the B-meson quark itself which is 5 times heavier than a proton and classified as massive.
“Why is this important? What is all this initial information trying to establish?”
It’s important because anti-matter B-mesons do not naturally occur,
Only in high energy colliders can they be actually observed.
This is referred to as baryon asymmetry, a universal imbalance,
The Big Bang should have produced an equal amount of baryonic interactions,
However, the amount of matter is far greater than its antimatter companions,
The current standard model can’t explain why this happened.
At CERN the large hadron collider fires away,
To create B-mesons and study its decay into dimuon interplay,
B-meson creation results in a huge impact from this tiny decay,
Creation of a mini-black hole that exists for 10 picoseconds of delay.
10 picoseconds is the time it took after the Big Bang for all particles to separate,
And it is the time it took for all known occurring anti-matter to degenerate.
This B-meson observation was significant. It contradicted the standard model of physics,
The first time a charge polarity violation had been consistently witnessed.
These observations show B-meson decay is not as rare as the standard model predicts,
Studying B-meson decay can lead to discovery of what the specific mechanism is.
It’s like looking at the surface of a lake, to detect a proverbial lochness beneath,
Watching the waves for the faint ripples released from the breath of the beast.
The standard model is like the other fish, disturbing the surface every deviation and shift,
B-mesons are not like the other fish. In terms of creating ripples they just don’t exist.
Amazing isn’t it?
We live in a world compromised entirely of matter, observation and tools,
The standard model is dominant, then B-mesons come along and don’t play by the rules.
