  1. Turns out the new particle was right there, out in the open, hiding behind the sofa the entire time.

  2. “Quarks come in six „flavours“: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom.” Sounds more like a positions than flavors to me.

    Any idea re: names for the flavors?

    The headline sounds big, but the interesting part is usually where the state fits into the hadron model and how strong the signal is. A lot of confusion comes from people reading new particle as something that rewrites physics.

  4. I assume these particle names don’t have a practical useful function that tells you something about their properties? Or do they? Ever since I found out about quarks I keep wonder if there was a naming convention that would be generally more useful for reference/teaching purposes.

    Does this mean that the mathematics that predicted Higgs boson were wrong? Any smarties?

  6. Why wasn’t this type of configuration thought to occur? A proton is two up quarks and a down, and the new particle is two charms and a down. Charms have the same charge and spin as an up, they’re just bigger. Are there any reasons scientists didn’t think they could do this?

    This makes me think of what the nuclear scientists were up to for a long while. Making combinations of particles we know will exist but live fractions of a second.
