there is. The B meson is partially composed of the b quark but not only.

See http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...les/meson.html

for the composition of various mesons.

What are phycisist speaking about B physic? Is Bmeson or quark b or the 2 together.

most of the time physics of the meson, which however, depends on the physics of the b quark.


PLEASE :
- the official language here is french. You are welcome as long as you write in french. Otherwise, you have plenty of very good forums in english...
- you posted in the astrophysical part of the forum, not in the physical, while mesons and quarks are not astrophysical things. Try to check next time...
- greeting is not forbidden...
