Get to know Quark better with 10+ real example sentences, the meaning and synonyms like cheese.
Quark meaning
- In the Standard Model, one of a number of elementary subatomic particles having fractional electric charge that forms matter. They are theorized not to exist in isolation, but only in combinations in hadrons such as neutrons and protons or in quark–gluon plasmas.
- An integer that uniquely identifies a text string.
- A nonsense, trivial text string.

They instead emerge as jets of newly created hadrons, whenever sufficient energy is deposited into a quark-quark bond, as when a quark in one proton is struck by a very fast quark of another impacting proton during a particle accelerator experiment. (42 words)
When a gluon is transferred between quarks, a color change occurs in both; for example, if a red quark emits a red–antigreen gluon, it becomes green, and if a green quark absorbs a red–antigreen gluon, it becomes red. (40 words)
It is believed that in the period prior to 10 −6 seconds after the Big Bang (the quark epoch ), the universe was filled with quark–gluon plasma, as the temperature was too high for hadrons to be stable. (38 words)
Example sentences (20)
At the quark level, W − emission turns a down quark into an up quark, turning a neutron (one up quark and two down quarks) into a proton (two up quarks and one down quark).
They instead emerge as jets of newly created hadrons, whenever sufficient energy is deposited into a quark-quark bond, as when a quark in one proton is struck by a very fast quark of another impacting proton during a particle accelerator experiment.
From this one could conclude that it was possible, for the second-heaviest quark - the bottom-quark - under certain circumstances to convert into a different quark.
A neutron composed of two down quarks and an up quark, decays to a proton composed of a down quark and two up quarks, for example.
A quark may pair up with an antiquark: the quark has a color and the antiquark has the corresponding anticolor.
Because quark Cooper pairs harbor color charge, such a phase of quark matter would be color superconductive ; that is, color charge would be able to pass through it with no resistance.
Flavor quantum numbers ( isospin (I 3 ), charm (C), strangeness (S, not to be confused with spin), topness (T), and bottomness (B′)) are assigned to certain quark flavors, and denote qualities of quark-based systems and hadrons.
It is believed that in the period prior to 10 −6 seconds after the Big Bang (the quark epoch ), the universe was filled with quark–gluon plasma, as the temperature was too high for hadrons to be stable.
Neutrons are made up of one up and two down quark, while protons are made of two up and one down quark.
No known mechanism (except possibly quark degeneracy pressure, see quark star ) is powerful enough to stop the implosion and the object will inevitably collapse to form a black hole.
Other effective theories are heavy quark effective theory (which expands around heavy quark mass near infinity), and soft-collinear effective theory (which expands around large ratios of energy scales).
The above treatment compares neutrons with protons, allowing the complex behavior of quarks to be subtracted out between models, and merely exploring what the effects would be of differing quark charges (or quark type).
The similarity in mass can be explained roughly by the slight difference in mass of up quark and down quark composing the nucleons.
When a gluon is transferred between quarks, a color change occurs in both; for example, if a red quark emits a red–antigreen gluon, it becomes green, and if a green quark absorbs a red–antigreen gluon, it becomes red.
