must have enough energy to produce a quark-antiquark pair. But above the D meson threshold, the original valence quarks need not annihilate; they can propagate...

Examples of hadrons containing strange quarks include kaons ( K ), strange D mesons ( D s), Sigma baryons ( Σ ), and other strange particles. According to the...

[mu] corresponds to m), and the new 1947 meson (Yukawa's particle) was named the pi meson. As more types of mesons were discovered in accelerator experiments...

The omega meson ( ω ) is a flavourless meson formed from a superposition of an up quark–antiquark and a down quark–antiquark pair. It is part of the vector...

physics, exotic mesons are mesons that have quantum numbers not possible in the quark model; some proposals for non-standard quark model mesons could be: glueballs...

those that are, are dubbed "hadrons", which are now further classified as mesons (middle mass) and baryons (heavy weight). But the discovery of the (neutral)...

Meson (/ˈmɛ.sɒn/) is a software tool for automating the building (compiling) of software. Meson is free and open-source software written in Python, under...

The Upsilon meson ( ϒ ) is a quarkonium state (i.e. flavourless meson) formed from a bottom quark and its antiparticle. It was discovered by the E288...

because the energy to produce the τ+ τ− pair is similar to the threshold for D meson production. The mass and spin of the tau were subsequently established...

physics, a pseudoscalar meson is a meson with total spin 0 and odd parity (usually notated as JP = 0− ). Pseudoscalar mesons are commonly seen in proton-proton...
