URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meson Next snippet Related snippets Related snippets (backlinks) All mesons are unstable, with the longest-lived lasting for only a few hundredths of a microsecond. Charged mesons decay (sometimes through mediating particles) to form electrons and neutrinos. Uncharged mesons may decay to photons. Both of these decays imply that color is no longer a property of the byproducts. Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
