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...
