So, yeah. It's not massive news, but the Tevatron went public on independent observations of a new baryon last Friday [DZero announced their discovery on the 13th, CDF trumped it (at least in the mass precision) on the 15th].

It is the first baryon to be observed with all three generations of quarks: dsb [see, it's cute!]

It should be called dsb which is much better than the current cascade b baryon.

Anyway, press release: http://www.fnal.gov/pub/presspass/press_releases/backtobackBaryons.html

( I'll take this off announcement status in a few days, just wanted to highlight it as it is, as far as I am aware, a new discovery )

Ugh, I don't like either one of those names.

If they called it the bsd then it would be easily confused with the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. I don't know why, but that would make me happy.
