particle physics, the phi meson or ϕ meson is a vector meson formed of a strange quark and a strange antiquark. It was the ϕ meson's unusual propensity to...

In particle physics, a meson (/ˈmiːzɒn, ˈmɛzɒn/) is a type of hadronic subatomic particle composed of an equal number of quarks and antiquarks, usually...

the phi meson (φ) has a higher mass around 1020 MeV/c2, indicates that the light-quark vector mesons appear in nearly pure states, with the φ meson having...

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...

In particle physics, a pion (/ˈpaɪ.ɒn/, PIE-on) or pi meson, denoted with the Greek letter pi ( π ), is any of three subatomic particles: π0 , π+ , and...

In particle physics, a kaon, also called a K meson and denoted K , is any of a group of four mesons distinguished by a quantum number called strangeness...

eta prime meson ( η′ ) are isosinglet mesons made of a mixture of up, down and strange quarks and their antiquarks. The charmed eta meson ( η c) and...

(J/psi) meson /ˈdʒeɪ ˈsaɪ ˈmiːzɒn/ is a subatomic particle, a flavor-neutral meson consisting of a charm quark and a charm antiquark. Mesons formed by...
