Quark decays refer to the process by which quarks, which are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons, transform into other particles through the weak nuclear force. Quark decays play a crucial role in understanding the behavior of subatomic particles and the fundamental forces that govern the universe. Studying quark decays allows scientists to probe the properties of quarks, such as their mass, charge, and spin, as well as the interactions between different types of quarks. This research area is important for advancing our understanding of particle physics and the fundamental nature of matter and energy.
