Cabibbo angle Strange quark is in some ways similar to Down quark
Λ0 = (uds) “heavy brother” of proton but Strange quarks decay
into Up quarks they are not completely separate, but somehow
coupled to “first generation” for the Weak interactions, the quarks are not quite the
same as the “physical” quarks (“mass eigenstates”) they appear to be “rotated”: ϑc ~ 13º

neutral currents
experimenting with neutrino beams how would you make a neutrino beam? “charged-current events”:
νμ N μ- X, μ
N μ+ X
“neutral-current events”: νμ
N νμ X, μ
N μ X

the GIM mechanism
it was noted that all neutral-current transitions had ΔS=0 Strange quark would transform into Up but not
into Down no “flavor-changing neutral currents”
… at tree level!
Glashow, Iliopoulos and Maiani proposed a mechanism to explain this now called the GIM mechanism

completing the second generation of quarks: charm and the J/ψ particle
the GIM mechanism had proposed another quark in the 2nd generation but it seems this prediction remained unheeded by experimentalists
it was by chance that at the proton fixed-target accelerator at Brookhaven, a resonance in the cross section was observed at 3.1 GeV “AGS” = Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, at “BNL” = Brookhaven National Laboratory
before this had been sufficiently confirmed to allow for publication, it seems that rumors about the discovery spread to the Stanford SPEAR accelerator, an e+e- collider and allowed to look for the resonance in the appropriate place
due to the much lower background at the electron-positron collider, the resonance could be quickly confirmed there

completing the second generation of quarks: charm and the J/ψ particle
the new particle was understood to be a bound state of a new quark and its antiquark
due to the shared discovery, the particle got the unusual name “ J/ψ “ Sam Ting ( ) from Brookhaven and Burt
Richter from Stanford shared the Nobel prize for this discovery
the new quark was dubbed “charm”: c the J/ψ has the quark content cc

conserved quantities (quantum numbers)
mass/energy absolutely conserved no perpetual motion machine (alas!)
charge absolutely conserved upper limit: 10-19
new quantities: baryon number (=1/3 for any quark)
seems absolutely conserved - but there could be a small violation

conserved quantities (quantum numbers)
lepton numbers Le, Lμ, Lτ
conserved? violation not yet seen for charged leptons neutrino “oscillations” seen, however!
properties that distinguish the quark “generations”: Strangeness S: -1 for Strange, +1 for antiStrange Charm C +1 for Charm, -1 for antiCharm Beauty B -1 for bottom, +1 for antiBottom (Truth T) violated only by Weak interactions generations live in “separate worlds” for other
interactions

interactions proton and neutron described as two isospin
states of the same particle (the “nucleon”)
discrete symmetries parity, charge parity, time reversal

the third generation of quarks: beauty
the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory of CP-violation had predicted a third generation of quarks
in 1977, the first bound state of the “bottom” or “beauty” quark was found: the “upsilon” ( Υ ) a bb state, similar to the cc state of the J/ψ 400-GeV protons on fixed target at Fermilab
(Chicago)

beauty - hidden in the Υ
the Υ appears as a resonance peak in the cross section for the production of μ+μ--peaks

the W± and Z0 bosons the W± and Z0 gauge bosons are much too short-lived to reach a detector
they may, however, be produced as “real” particles and their decay products can be seen
due to their high mass, a high-energy accelerator was needed to produce them SPS (“Super Proton
Synchtron”) at CERN colliding protons with antiprotons
