    Baryon
In summary, a up,up anti-down baryon is a hypothetical particle made up of two up quarks and one anti-down quark. It has not been discovered yet because there is no experimental evidence to support its existence. Its discovery could impact our understanding of the universe and have practical applications in various fields.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the theory of the standard model that says such a baryon couldn't exist, so why don't we see it?

Yes there is. It's colored.

however, you're certainly right that QCD does not forbid many baryonic-like states (such as the pentaquark) that we (debatably) do not see. Why is that? Who knows...
 

Related to Why isnt there a up,up anti-down baryon?

1. Why hasn't a up,up anti-down baryon been discovered yet?

Scientists have not discovered a up,up anti-down baryon because it is a hypothetical particle that has not been observed in nature yet. It is predicted by certain theories, but there is currently no experimental evidence to support its existence.

2. What is a up,up anti-down baryon?

A up,up anti-down baryon is a theoretical subatomic particle made up of two up quarks and one anti-down quark. It is a type of baryon, which is a composite particle made up of three quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force.

3. How would a up,up anti-down baryon be different from other baryons?

A up,up anti-down baryon would have a different composition of quarks compared to other baryons. It would also have unique properties and interactions due to the specific combination of quarks that make it up.

4. Is there evidence for the existence of a up,up anti-down baryon?

Currently, there is no experimental evidence for the existence of a up,up anti-down baryon. However, some theories, such as supersymmetry, predict its existence and scientists are continuing to search for it through particle accelerators and other experiments.

5. How would the discovery of a up,up anti-down baryon impact our understanding of the universe?

The discovery of a up,up anti-down baryon would provide further evidence for certain theories, such as supersymmetry, and could potentially lead to a better understanding of the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe. It could also have practical applications in fields such as physics and technology.
