The higher quarks you mentioned, namely top, bottom, strange, and charm quarks, can indeed form particles. These quarks, along with up and down quarks, are collectively known as the six flavors of quarks in the Standard Model of particle physics.
Quarks are never found in isolation due to a property called color confinement. Instead, they combine together to form composite particles called hadrons. There are two types of hadrons: baryons and mesons.
Baryons, such as protons and neutrons, consist of three quarks. They can be formed by combining any combination of quarks from the six flavors. For example, a proton is composed of two up quarks and one down quark, while a neutron consists of one up quark and two down quarks. Baryons involving the higher quarks you mentioned, such as the lambda baryon (uds), sigma baryons (uus, uds, and dds), and the omega baryon (sss), have been observed and studied.
Mesons, on the other hand, consist of a quark and an antiquark pair. Again, the quarks involved can be from any of the six flavors. Mesons like the pion (ud), kaon (us or ds), and D meson (uc, dc, sc) are examples of particles formed by combining higher quarks.
It's important to note that the top quark, being the heaviest of all quarks, decays very rapidly and is not involved in the formation of stable hadrons. The top quark's extremely short lifetime means it quickly transforms into other particles before it can form bound states.
In summary, the higher quarks (top, bottom, strange, and charm) can participate in the formation of hadrons, either as constituents of baryons or as quark-antiquark pairs in mesons. The different combinations of quarks and antiquarks give rise to a variety of observed particles with different properties.
