Since no quark can exist in a free state (ie, unbounded to another quark), how can we claim a single value for the bottom quark's mass? Its effective mass is going to be different depending on which meson it's in, just like the effective mass of protons in a nucleus are not equal to the mass of a free proton. We should make a note of this where we give the mass, no? Miraculouschaos 16:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
The article writes:
On its discovery, there were efforts to name the bottom quark "beauty", but "bottom" became the predominant usage.
Is this really true? People indeed refer slightly more often to "bottom quark" than "beauty quark", but the _b_ quantum number is more often referred to as units of beauty. A simple search of beauty and bottom in article titles in spires returns 653 and 1146 hits respectively. Pkoppenb ( talk) 06:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Some canonical citations are needed for the original naming, the strands of usage of different names, and the current situation. The SPIRES data is interesting. For example, here is a contemporay reference from CERN using beauty:

H. Harari actually COINED the names of the "top" and "bottom" quarks. Harari was the first to propose a model of six quarks and six leptons, naming the two new quarks “top” and “bottom” (names presently accepted by all), and predicting the existence of six leptons. In August 1975, at the Stanford International Particle Physics conference he presented, for the first time ever, the full synthesis accepted today as “the standard model” of six quarks and six leptons.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if it wouldn't be a bit more reasonable to quote the physical mass instead of the masses in different renormalization schemes, as this seems a bit too technical to me and certainly isn't what the layman would refer to as mass. Any opinions on that? Jaschau ( talk) 12:09, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
2010 PDG values have been posted,

I will wait a few more days before making the changes to mass. If there are no objections I'll apply the changes on Friday August 06, 2010 sometime between 0700 and 2200 UTC.

I believe this section belongs in Quarkonium article, as this new particle is one of the bottomonium states, which are already mentioned earlier in this article, but not in detail. Either more information about the bottomonium in general should be provided here, or this particle should not be listed at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.17.130.201 ( talk) 23:07, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
