URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meson Next snippet Related snippets In particle physics, mesons are hadronic subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by strong interactions. 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. Related snippets (backlinks) Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
