Encyclopedia > Bottomness

In Physics, Bottomness (also formerly called Beauty) quantum number is the number of bottom anti-quarks () minus the number of bottom quarks (b) that are present in a particle: Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (physikos), natural, and φύσις (physis), Nature) is the science of Nature in the broadest sense. ... For other uses of this term, see: Quark (disambiguation) 1974 discovery photograph of a possible charmed baryon, now identified as the Σc++ In particle physics, the quarks are subatomic particles thought to be elemental and indivisible. ...

Bottom quarks have a bottomness of −1 and bottom anti-quarks of +1, so the bottomness sign agrees with its charge ( − 1 / 3 for b).


As with other flavor-related quantum numbers, bottomness is preserved under strong and electromagnetic interaction, but not under weak interaction. For first-order weak reactions, it holds that . The strong nuclear force or strong interaction (also called color force or colour force) is a fundamental force of nature which affects only quarks and antiquarks, and is mediated by gluons in a similar fashion to how the electromagnetic force is mediated by photons. ... Electromagnetic interaction is a fundamental force of nature and is felt by charged leptons and quarks. ... The weak nuclear force or weak interaction is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. ...

Coal Bottom Ash/Boiler Slag - Material Description (2612 words)
The remaining 20 percent of the ash is dry bottom ash, a dark gray, granular, porous, predominantly sand size minus 12.7mm (½ in) material that is collected in a water-filled hopper at the bottom of the furnace.
The composition of the bottom ash or boiler slag particles is controlled primarily by the source of the coal and not by the type of furnace.
When using bottom ash or boiler slag in an embankment, backfill, subbase, or even possibly in a base course, the potential for corrosion of metal structures that may come in contact with the material is of concern and should be investigated prior to use.
Foggy Bottom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (230 words)
Foggy Bottom is one of Washington, DC's oldest 19th century neighborhoods, so named because, as a low-lying area, fog (widespread in the swamps of early Washington) tended to concentrate there.
Foggy Bottom was once a community of Irish, German, and African-American laborers employed at the nearby breweries, glass plants, and the city gas works.
Foggy Bottom is served by the eponymous Foggy Bottom-GWU Washington Metro station.
