English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

In the whimsical terminology that has evolved for the discussion of quarks they are said to come in four flavors, and each flavor is said to come in three colors. ("Flavor" and "color" are, of course, arbitrary labels; they have no relation to the usual meanings of those words.) One of the quark flavors is distinguished by the property called charm (another arbitrary term).

CONT

The atoms of ordinary matter have no charm; the property can be observed only in the debris of high-energy collisions between particles.

  • Physique atomique
CONT

On distingue, selon les notations les plus courantes, les quarks u et d, qui constituent le proton et le neutron, le quark étrange s, et le quark charmé c. Bien entendu, rien n'exclut l'existence d'autres quarks, pour peu que de nouvelles familles de particules se laissent découvrir en relation avec un nombre quantique nouveau. Ces nombres quantiques qui déterminent la nature des quarks ont reçu le qualificatif générique de "parfums" (...): ce sont l'isospin, l'étrangeté, le charme.

Record 4 1980-02-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

Charm is a property much like strangeness: it must be conserved in all strong and electromagnetic interactions but not in weak ones. Hence the lightest charmed particles should decay only through the weak interaction, and they should have commensurately long lifetimes.
