In particle physics, B mesons are mesons composed of a bottom antiquark and either an up (
B+
), down (
B0
), strange (
B0
s
) or charm quark (
B+
c
). The combination of a bottom antiquark and a top quark is not thought to be possible because of the top quark's short lifetime. The combination of a bottom antiquark and a bottom quark is not a B meson, but rather bottomonium, which is something else entirely.

Each B meson has an antiparticle that is composed of a bottom quark and an up (
B
), down (
B0
), strange (
B0
s
) or charm (
B
c
) antiquark respectively.
