There they can switch identities time and time again, becoming another quark or an antiquark.

-
The tracing is of the overall occillation frequency … NOT a profile of overall quark/antiquark occillation behavior.
-
CDF physicists have previously measured the rate of the matter-antimatter transitions for the B_s meson, which consists of the heavy bottom quark bound by the strong nuclear interaction to a strange antiquark.
-
Pions are hadrons, consisting of a quark and an antiquark.
CDF Ghost Muons John 2008
-
Quanta devoid of internal structure (such as quarks, leptons, and intermediate bosons) are the result of interaction with one quantum of space; particles endowed with internal structure (baryons constituted of three quarks and mesons made up of a quark-antiquark pair) are the product of interaction with several QS.

The subsample in question came to light in the course of the measurement of the b quark pair production cross section, which is proportional to the rate at which events with a b quark and a b antiquark are produced.

It decays, nearly instantly, into the heaviest quark-antiquark or lepton-antilepton pair it can.

If you produce a Higgs boson, it will decay to the heaviest quark or lepton paris (for example a bottom quark and antiquark) that it can.
