The matrix of mixing angles that describes mixing among quarks.
Industry:Physics
A proposed fixed target experiment to take place at Fermilab. Its goal is to measure the decay of charged K-mesons to pions and neutrinos to study the parameters of the CKM mixing matrix.
Industry:Physics
This large, multi-purpose detector is currently under construction for use at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland.

CP is a symmetry that relates particles to anti-particles. CP violation occurs when there is a difference in the way that particles and anti-particles interact. It is believed to be necessary for the excess of matter over antimatter we observe in the universe. This phenomenon is currently being studied in detail at BaBar and BELLE.
Industry:Physics
A laboratory located in Hamburg, Germany. It is the site of the HERA accelerator, which hosts the ZEUS and H1 experiments.
Industry:Physics
One of the principal federal agencies supporting research in the physical sciences in the United States. Through its Office of Science it provides approximately 90% of the support for High Energy and Nuclear Physics.
Industry:Physics
One of the two large multi-purpose experiments located at the Tevatron at Fermilab. Along with CDF, it discovered the top quark in 1995.
Industry:Physics
A laboratory, operated by the Department of Energy, located in Batavia, Illinois. It is the site of the machine that currently operates at the highest energy in the world, the Tevatron.

Flavor has two different meanings. For leptons, it is the label used to differentiate the three generations. That is to say, electrons, muons, and taus are said to have different flavor. For quarks, it is a label that discriminates between all quarks of different masses. There are six known flavors of quarks: up(u), down(d), strange(s), charm(c), bottom(b), and top(b).
