An attack from a Foxhound damages the player and sets them on fire. Foxhounds growl and will attack skeletons. Like most mobs native to the Nether, they are immune to fire damage. This can impact the spawn rate of other mobs drastically.įoxhounds are similar to the Wolf in appearance and behavior. This may be considered as a bug as they do not adhere to the standard despawn algorithm and will not despawn even if they player exceeds a distance of 128 meters from the mob. As a hostile mob, they contribute to the hostile mob cap. For the latter, the violation of the CP-symmetry can be measured with the help of heavy quarks.Foxhounds spawn in groups of 4 to 6 in the Nether on Netherrack.

They can be used to test predictions for the strong interaction (Quantum Chromodynamics) but also to study the weak interactions. Heavy quarks are of much interest to modern research.

Its mass of 4.2 GeV is notably smaller than the mass of the top-quark, but also four times heavier than the charm-quark whose mass is 1.3 GeV. Among others, it is part of b mesons and Υ mesons. This was possible by the proton-antiproton collider TevaTron at the Fermi National Laboratory which fort the first time produced more than 1 TeV of energy per collision. This was because that high energies are needed to produce the mass of a top-quark. Already in 1977 after the discovery of its partner quark, the bottom-quark, the top-quark was predicted, but it was observed for the first time in 1995. Because of its very short lifetime, 4.2x10 -25s, it is not capable of building hadronic bound states which means that there are no hadrons containing top-quarks. It has a mass of 171 GeV and thus, is as heavy as the gold atom. The top-quark is the heaviest quark by far. This hierarchy of masses is - like the mass hierarchy for the leptons - as yet an unsolved problem of particle physics. Also, there are large differences between their masses. While the first three flavours have very small masses, the other three quarks are much heavier. Up to now, six sorts (flavours) of quarks are observed: up-, down-, strange, charm, bottom and top-quark. This meson consists of charm quarks which had been predicted by the quark model.

After several more experimental hints, the quark model was finally accepted in 1974 when the J/ψ meson was discovered. The first signs of the existence of quarks was given by the inelastic scattering of protons in the sixties.

All hadrons, such as protons, neutrons or pions, are made are of quarks. Together with leptons and gauge bosons, quarks are one of the fundamental components of matter.
