T mesons are hypothetical mesons composed of a topquark and either an up ( T0 ), down ( T+ ), strange ( T+ s), charm antiquark ( T0 c) or bottom antiquark ( T+ b).[1] Because of the top quark's short lifetime, T mesons are not expected to be found in nature.[2] The combination of a top quark and top antiquark is not an open T meson, but rather a closed top-quark meson called toponium. Each T meson has an antiparticle that is composed of a top antiquark and an up ( T0 ), down ( T− ), strange ( T− s), charm quark ( T0 c) or bottom quark ( T− b) respectively.
