Word	Definition
antipartonnoun	(physics) The antiparticle of a parton.
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.
particlenoun	A very small piece of matter, a fragment; especially, the smallest possible part of something.
preonnoun	(physics) A hypothetical point-like particle, supposed to be a subcomponent of quarks and leptons and possibly bosons too.
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.
quasiparton	—
mesonnoun	(now specifically, particle physics) An elementary particle that is composed of a quark and an antiquark, such as a kaon or pion. (Mesons composed of rarer quarks are much heavier.)
fundamental particlenoun	(physics) Any of the subatomic particles that does not consist of other, smaller particles; the gauge bosons, leptons and quarks.
protronnoun	Misspelling of proton. [(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.]
quargnoun	Alternative form of quark (soft creamy cheese) [(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.]
composite particlenoun	(nuclear physics) A subatomic particle that is not an elementary particle, i.e. a hadron or an atomic nucleus.
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.
paraparticlenoun	(physics) The equivalent of a particle in any of several parastatistics
subconstituentnoun	(linguistics) A part or component of a syntactic, morphological, or phonetic constituent.
proteonnoun	(physics) Any composite particle composed of two fermions
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.
elementary particlenoun	(physics) A fundamental particle; any of the subatomic particles that do not consist of other, smaller particles; the gauge bosons, leptons and quarks.
pionnoun	(particle physics) Any of three semistable mesons, having positive, negative or neutral charge, composed of up and down quarks/antiquarks.
prehadronnoun	(physics) A confined complex of quarks that has some characteristics of a hadron
parabosonnoun	(physics) The equivalent of a boson in any of several parastatistics.
