Top baryons are a type of subatomic particle made up of three quarks, specifically containing at least one top quark. Baryons are part of the larger family of particles known as hadrons, which are held together by the strong force. The top quark is the heaviest of all quarks, making top baryons particularly interesting in particle physics. These baryons are not commonly found in nature due to the instability of the top quark, which decays rapidly into other particles. Research on top baryons helps scientists understand the fundamental forces and interactions in the universe, contributing to the broader study of quantum chromodynamics and the Standard Model of particle physics.
