And so, we think that all the subatomic particles of the universe, the quarks, the neutrinos, the mesons, the protons, the neutrons, there's a galaxy of these particles, they're nothing but musical notes on a tiny rubber band.

所以我们认为所有的亚原子宇宙的粒子，夸、中微子、介子、 质子和中子有一个由这些粒子组成的星系，它们只不过是一个小橡皮筋上的音符。

Something to separate the men from the boys, the wheat from the chaff, the mesons from the pi-mesons, the quarks from the quacks.

来看看你们是男人，还是男孩，是粮食，还是糟糠，是介子还是 π 介子，真夸（粒子之一）还是庸医。

When I was an undergraduate, we made fun of the old professors who didn't understand the theory of mesons.

我读科的时候也经常和同学取笑些不懂介子理论的老教授。

The error is to see the meson in the equivalence of the traded goods.

错误在于将交换的商品等同视之。

The lhcb team has spent the best part of a decade measuring how subatomic particles known as b mesons decay into lighter particles.

lhcb 团队年的大部分时间来测量称为 b 介子的亚原子粒子如何衰变成更轻的粒子。

" what is the iso-spin singlet partner of the pi-zero meson? "

π零介子的同重旋单重配合物是什么?

For example, the virtue of generosity is the meson between profligacy and stinginess.

例如，慷慨的美德介于挥霍与吝啬之间。

Nor is the b meson anomaly, as it is known, the only recent result that might attract the attention of the prize-awarders at Sweden's Royal Academy of Science.

众所周知，b 介子异常也不是最近可能引起瑞典皇家科学院获奖者注意的唯一结果。

An alternative candidate that might serve as an Aristotelian meson is Rothbard's non-aggression principle.

一个可能作为亚里士多德中庸之道的候选者是罗斯巴德的非侵略原则。

Theoreticians, meanwhile, have been busy devising ways to extend the Standard Model to try to explain those mesons' anomalous decays.

与此同时，理论家们一直忙于设计扩展标准模型的方法，以试图解释这些介子的反常衰变。

" What it means is there could be additional interactions within the b meson, that's breaking it up with the wrong frequencies." By " frequencies" , Dr Allanach means the rates at which electrons and muons are emitted when b mesons decay.

“这意味着 b 介子内可能存在额外的相互作用，即以错误的频率将其分解。 ”Allanach 博士所说的“频率” 是指 b 介子衰变时电子和 μ 子的发射速率。

However, this does not mean that there is no such thing as justice itself, and neither does it mean that justice itself is not a sound middle ground, a meson between opposite excesses.

然而，这并不意味着正义身不存在，也不意味着正义身不是一个稳健的中间立场，即介于对立极端之间的中庸之道。

The virtue of courage is the meson between recklessness and cowardice.

勇气这美德是鲁莽和怯懦之间的中庸。

Others, though, have a different explanation for the b meson decay anomaly—a proposed new particle called a leptoquark.

不过，其他人对 b 介子衰变异常有不同的解释——一种被提议称为轻夸的新粒子。

But the meson could be something else.

但介子也可能是其他东西。

In interacting with this force, b mesons would therefore emit electrons and muons at different rates.

因此，在与这种力相互作用时，b 介子会以不同的速率发射电子和 μ 子。

One way in which these mesons decay is by the transformation of the bottom antiquark into a so-called " strange" antiquark and a pair of leptons, a different class of fundamental particle that includes electrons and their more massive cousins, muons.

这些介子衰变的一种方式是将底部的反夸转变为所谓的“奇异”反夸和一对轻子，轻子是一种不同的粒子，包括电子及其质量更大的表亲介子。

The b meson anomaly challenges this idea.

b 介子异常挑战这个想法。
