A bottom baryon is a baryon that contains a bottom quark.

Bottom baryons are extremely rare in real experiments. You have to make millions of baryons to find even one bottom baryon. The bottom quarks were first discovered at Fermilab in 1978. They are very important for the way we understand the basic forces of nature.
