Word	Definition

xi baryonnoun	(physics) A subatomic hadron particle, denoted by Ξ, comprising three quarks: one up or down quark, and two heavier quarks.
baryoniumnoun	(particle physics) A particle-like resonance preferentially coupled to baryon-antibaryon channels. It is described either as a baryon-antibaryon compound or composed of a diquark and an antidiquark.
dibaryonnoun	(physics) Any of a proposed class of particles that would be a complex of two baryons (or six quarks).
hadronnoun	(particle physics) A composite particle that comprises two or more quarks held together by the strong force and (consequently) can interact with other particles via said force; a meson or a baryon.
exotic baryonnoun	(particle physics) A bound state of 3 quarks and additional particles. These additional particles can be quarks.
antibaryonnoun	(particle physics) The antiparticle corresponding to a baryon.
lambda baryonnoun	(physics) Any of three particles, having no electric charge and an isotopic spin of 1, composed of an up quark, down quark and either a strange quark, a charm quark or a bottom quark.
polyquarknoun	(particle physics) A hadron composed of more quarks than a baryon; a particle constituted of more than three quarks.
baryonic matternoun	(physics) Matter composed of baryons and electrons.
hyperbaryonnoun	(physics) The hyperon form of a baryon
baryon numbernoun	(physics) A quantum number related to the difference between the numbers of quarks and antiquarks in a system of subatomic particles
fermionnoun	(particle physics, Standard Model) Any elementary or composite particle that has half-integer spin and thus obeys Fermi–Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle (equivalently, a particle for which the wavefunction of any system of identical such particles changes sign whenever two are swapped); a baryon, a lepton or a quark;
biquarknoun	Alternative form of diquark. [(particle physics) The hypothetical state of two quarks grouped inside a baryon.]
bottomoniumnoun	(particle physics) Any meson, such as an upsilon particle, formed from a bottom quark and its antiquark.
diquarknoun	(particle physics) The hypothetical state of two quarks grouped inside a baryon.
hyperonnoun	(physics) Any baryon (a three-quark particle) with a non-zero strangeness (i.e., whose composition includes one or more strange or anti-strange quarks).
quarknoun	(particle physics) In the Standard Model, one of a number of elementary subatomic particles having fractional electric charge that forms matter. They are theorized not to exist in isolation, but only in combinations in hadrons such as neutrons and protons or in quark–gluon plasmas.
bosonnoun	(particle physics) A particle with totally symmetric composite quantum states, which exempts them from the Pauli exclusion principle, and that hence obeys Bose-Einstein statistics. They have integer spin. Among them are many elementary particles, and some (gauge bosons) are known to carry the fundamental forces. Compare fermion.
protonnoun	(particle physics) A positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and determining the atomic number of an element, composed of two up quarks and a down quark.
