Description
The strange quark is the third lightest quark. Particles containing with strange quarks can be produced easily and quickly via the strong interaction but decayed much more slowly through the weak interaction. Based on his newly well-developed four-element theory of nature, the author has recently developed a new two-flavor (up and down) multi-excitation (ground and excited states) quark model, which brings us a new quantum world of quarks for insights into mysteries of the universe. The heavy quarks: charm, strange, top, and bottom are considered as the second and third excitations of the up and down quarks. The fundamental weak interaction is found to be an interaction between electric and color charges, so that occurs inside quark and causes quark decay and get excited via emitting and absorbing quark-antiquark pairs. Leptons are products rather than participants of the weak interaction. Combinations of two quarks, in which one is antiquark, can form eight types of particles, via different levels of annihilations, including massive and massless mesons and gluons, electrically neutral and charged leptons and bosons including photons, and Weyl fermions. Combinations of three quarks can form four types of baryons with charge states to be 2e, e, 0, and -e, respectively. This study explores and shows indetail from the new quantum world how strange particles are produced and decayed, what the fine structures of the Feynman diagrams for these processes.
