Meson Messes With The Standard Model

Looks like they may have discovered another meson turning into its antiparticle before decaying. A new report to be published in PRL out of SLAC shows that the neutral D-meson decays into its antiparticle before it decays away. It appears that this was not expected to occur for this particular meson due to the way its quark constituents are "linked".

Obviously, they need to do some serious thinking on what this means.

    Hi ZapperZ! I just found your blog. Good posts. Actually on physics. Yes, these pesky SM problems really need sorting out....

    Thanks Ken. Glad you like it and found it. I would love to hear from you if you have anything to add to this particular observation.

    Oops.. Sorry Kea. I sometime type too fast, especially when I am in a hurry to leave the house.

    I still very much appreciate hearing from you.
