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

experiment at SLAC in 2008, and is the lightest particle containing a bottom and anti-bottom quark. Eta and eta prime mesons, a similar particle with light...

the most well studied and understood mesons, the decay properties of the pseudoscalar mesons, particularly of eta (η) and eta-prime (η′), are somewhat contradictory...

between mesons and baryons is that mesons have integer spin (thus are bosons) while baryons are fermions (half-integer spin). Because mesons are bosons...

which suggests the mesons should be grouped into nonets (groups of nine). The eightfold way organizes eight of the lowest spin-0 mesons into an octet. They...

of classification. These include glueballs and hybrid mesons (mesons bound by excited gluons). Because mesons have an even number of quarks, they are also...

D mesons are the lightest particle containing charm quarks. They are often studied to gain knowledge on the weak interaction. The strange D mesons (Ds)...

and is therefore a meson. Pions are the lightest mesons and, more generally, the lightest hadrons. They are unstable, with the charged pions π+ and π−...

pions and omega mesons, the rho meson carries the nuclear force within the atomic nucleus. After the pions and kaons, the rho mesons are the lightest...

Bose–Einstein statistics and all have integer spins. Bosons may be either elementary, like photons and gluons, or composite, like mesons. According to the Standard...
