Question

A boson notated with this letter is the weak hypercharge gauge boson and can mix with W3 to form the Z boson and photon. A set of four mesons symbolized by this letter includes the heaviest [emphasize] charged meson, as well as the heaviest neutral mesons to undergo matter-antimatter oscillations. A quantum number represented by this letter equals one-third of the quantity number of quarks minus the number of antiquarks, and is conserved in the Standard Model (15[1])along with (*) L. The upsilon meson is made up of a quark of this letter paired with its antiquark. Yellow is the (-5[1])anticolor of this color state, the alphabetically first of three. This letter represents the second-heaviest quark, which is paired with the top (10[2])quark in the third generation. For 10 (10[1])points, name this letter which, along with (10[1])r and g, constitutes color charge. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: B [accept uppercase or lowercase b; accept B0 (B-zero) or B-sub-c-plus; accept B meson or b quark or B-factories; accept B minus L; reject “beta”]
