Now, does anyone know what happens to quarks when we combine them to make mesons and baryons?

有人知道当我们把夸克组合成介子和重子时会发生什么吗？

" what is the iso-spin singlet partner of the pi-zero meson? "

π零介子的同重旋单重配合物是什么?

The b meson anomaly challenges this idea.

b 介子异常挑战了这个想法。

Others, though, have a different explanation for the b meson decay anomaly—a proposed new particle called a leptoquark.

不过，其他人对 b 介子衰变异常有不同的解释——一种被提议称为轻夸克的新粒子。

Something to separate the men from the boys, the wheat from the chaff, the mesons from the pi-mesons, the quarks from the quacks.

来看看你们是男人，还是男孩，是粮食，还是糟糠，是介子还是 π 介子，真夸克（基本粒子之一）还是庸医。

In interacting with this force, b mesons would therefore emit electrons and muons at different rates.

因此，在与这种力相互作用时，b 介子会以不同的速率发射电子和 μ 子。

Theoreticians, meanwhile, have been busy devising ways to extend the Standard Model to try to explain those mesons' anomalous decays.

与此同时，理论家们一直忙于设计扩展标准模型的方法，以试图解释这些介子的反常衰变。

The lhcb team has spent the best part of a decade measuring how subatomic particles known as b mesons decay into lighter particles.

lhcb 团队花了十年的大部分时间来测量称为 b 介子的亚原子粒子如何衰变成更轻的粒子。

Nor is the b meson anomaly, as it is known, the only recent result that might attract the attention of the prize-awarders at Sweden's Royal Academy of Science.

众所周知，b 介子异常也不是最近可能引起瑞典皇家科学院获奖者注意的唯一结果。

And so, we think that all the subatomic particles of the universe, the quarks, the neutrinos, the mesons, the protons, the neutrons, there's a galaxy of these particles, they're nothing but musical notes on a tiny rubber band.

所以我们认为所有的亚原子宇宙的粒子，夸克、中微子、介子、 质子和中子有一个由这些粒子组成的星系，它们只不过是一个小橡皮筋上的音符。
