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...

Vector mesons play a huge role in the study of the strong hadronic force. ρ meson ω meson φ meson K*(892) meson D* meson J/ψ meson ϒ meson θ meson List...

a strange/anti-strange pair, for example in the ϕ meson. The classification of particles, as mesons and baryons, follows the quark/anti-quark and three...

it is analogous to the ϕ ( s s ), J/ψ ( c c ) and ϒ ( b b ) mesons. Due to the top quark's short lifetime, the theta meson is expected to not be observed...

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

is the Phi meson into pions: φ → π+ + π− + π0 . It would be expected that this decay mode would dominate over other decay modes such as φ → K+ + K− ,...

vector mesons. See list of particles for a more detailed list of particles found in particle physics. This article contains a list of mesons, unstable...

wave function of the ω into its component parts. We see that the ω and ϕ mesons are mixtures of the SU(3) wave functions as follows. ω = ψ 8 sin ⁡ θ +...
