Quarks come in 3 “colours”, but the hadrons strongly-interacting particles we observe are colour-neutral: baryons are composed of 3 quarks of different colours, and mesons are quark-antiquark pairs. From Wordnik.com. [Your Favorite Conservatives on Evolution and ID - The Panda's Thumb] Reference
The subsample in question came to light in the course of the measurement of the b quark pair production cross section, which is proportional to the rate at which events with a b quark and a b antiquark are produced. From Wordnik.com. [CDF Ghost Muons] Reference
Admittedly, when the quarks have moved away from each other, they are influenced by increasingly strong forces that eventually lead to the creation of new quark-antiquark particles, and a shower of particles arises in the direction of the original quarks and antiquarks respectively. From Wordnik.com. [The Nobel Prize in Physics 2004 - Information for the Public] Reference
Quanta devoid of internal structure (such as quarks, leptons, and intermediate bosons) are the result of interaction with one quantum of space; particles endowed with internal structure (baryons constituted of three quarks and mesons made up of a quark-antiquark pair) are the product of interaction with several QS.

With Goldhaber doing the bulk of the data analysis, the team in 1974 announced the discovery of a particle composed of the previously unknown charm quark and charm antiquark. From Wordnik.com. [TheState.com: Homepage] Reference
A proton-antiproton collision can produce a single top quark in two different ways: a quark and an antiquark can create a W boson, which then decays into a top quark and an anti-bottom quark. From Wordnik.com. [PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories] Reference
For example, a quark in one proton hitting an antiquark in the other proton with, say, a couple hundred GeV can produce two jets of 100 GeV going in opposite directions (from the beam's eye view). From Wordnik.com. [Discover Blogs] Reference
This is because a light particle such as the Upsilon, created in a proton-proton collision in the forward or backward direction, implies that a medium-momentum quark hit a very small-momentum antiquark. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific Blogging] Reference
The nucleons inside the deuterium nucleus are held together by residual QCD effects (the complicated mess of quark-antiquark pairs and gluons), but they themselves are colour-neutral bound states (you can take each of them out of the nucleus and they would still be bound states). From Wordnik.com. [physicsworld.com: all content] Reference
A research team led by MIT, CERN and the KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics in Budapest, Hungary have released a report detailing findings that the collisions are producing an "unexpectedly" high number of particles called mesons, subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark.

Language Log in 2005, he commented: "Given the expected resistance of editors to 'could care less', the fact that it appears in print 11 years after the first citation for 'couldn't care less' suggests to me that the two expressions probably arose at essentially the same time, like quark-antiquark pairs in a high-energy collision.".
