    Mesons: Pion Index Particle Concepts

    Uploaded by

    Bruno Da Fonseca Gonçalves
    The document summarizes a table of mesons. Mesons are intermediate mass particles composed of a quark-antiquark pair. The table lists various mesons including pions, kaons, etas, rhos, omegas, and others. It provides each particle's symbol, anti-particle makeup of quarks, rest mass in MeV/c2, spin, lifetime, and typical decay modes. Mesons decay via the weak interaction on timescales of 10-13 to 10-8 seconds, involving quark transformations that can be represented by Feynman diagrams.

    Note that an underline indicates an antiparticle. To Baryon Table Mesons are intermediate mass particles which are made up of a quark-antiquark pair. Three quark combinations are called baryons. Mesons are bosons, while the baryons are fermions. 1* The neutral Kaons K0 and K0 represent symmetric and antisymmetric mixtures of s L the quark combinations down-antistrange and antidown-strange. 2* The neutral eta meson is considered to be a quark combination

    Table of mesons

    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/meson.html

    Note: In the table, antiquarks are indicated by an underline, e.g., ud means a combination of an up and an antidown quark. Most of the listed decay times are in the range 10-13 to 10-8 s which indicates decay by the weak interaction. These decays involve quark transformations which can be represented by Feynman diagrams.
