💡 Words with a Similar Meaning to "Mesons"
Found via reverse dictionary — words that share a conceptual meaning.
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| mesotronnoun | (physics, dated) meson |
| jrnoun | Initialism of Japan Railways. |
| pseudoscalarnoun | (physics) A quantity that behaves like a scalar, but changes sign under a parity inversion |
| baryonnoun | (particle physics) A heavy subatomic particle created by the binding of quarks by gluons; a hadron containing three quarks. Baryons have half-odd integral spin and are thus fermions. This category includes the common proton and neutron of the atomic nucleus. |
| strange quarknoun | (particle physics) A quark having a fractional electric charge of -1/3 and a mass of about 80 to 130 MeV. |
| antiparticlenoun | (particle physics) A subatomic particle corresponding to another particle with the same mass, spin and mean lifetime but with charge, parity, strangeness and other quantum numbers flipped in sign; a particle that has a reversed world line to another. |
| nucleonsnoun | A proton (uud) or a neutron (udd). |
| 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. |
| positronsnoun | (particle physics) The antimatter equivalent of an electron, having the same mass but a positive charge. |
| leptonsnoun | (proscribed) Alternative form of lepton. [A coin used since ancient times in Greece, serving in modern times as one hundredth of a phoenix, a drachma, and a euro (as the Greek form of the Eurocent).] |
| muonsnoun | (physics) An unstable elementary particle in the lepton family, having similar properties to the electron but with a mass 207 times greater. |
| antineutrinosnoun | (particle physics) The antiparticle of the neutrino. |
| 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; |
| charm quarknoun | (particle physics) A quark having a fractional electric charge of +2/3 and a mass of about 1150 to 1350 MeV. |
| antiquarknoun | (particle physics) The antiparticle of a quark. |
| bosonsnoun | (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. |
| nucleinoun | (chemistry, physics) The massive, positively charged central part of an atom, made up of protons and neutrons. |
| antiprotonsnoun | (physics) The antiparticle of the proton, having a negative electric charge. |
| dipolarnoun | (physics) Having north and south magnetic poles. |
| gluonnoun | (particle physics) A massless gauge boson that binds quarks together to form baryons, mesons and other hadrons and is associated with the strong nuclear force. |
