On the properties of heavy quarks

This work is the first attempt to define charmed, beautiful, and true quarks, that is, c-, b-, and t-quarks. The operators charma, bottoma, and topa are determined using the Okubo matrix A ₁ ¹ , A ₂ ² , and A ₃ ³ and eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of these operators are also found. The decay width was estimated to be t → Wb (≈10⁻⁶). __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 86–89, November, 2005.
