3. Meson
   A type of hadron with whole-number units of spin. This family includes the pion, kaon, and eta. It is made up of a quark and its antimatter counterpart, bonded together. Mesons have a short mean life (less than 10^-8 second) because (in the case of pi-zero meson) the quark and antiquark ca...

11. Meson
    A member of the class of short lived, elementary particles having rest masses between that of the electron and the proton. Mesons are bosons, i.e., have integral intrinsic angular momentum. Examples: pi-mesons (pions) and K-mesons (kaons).

13. Meson
    In particle physics, mesons (z or z) are hadronic subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by the strong interaction. Because mesons are composed of sub-particles, they have a physical size, with a radius roughly one femtometre, which is about {frac|2|3} the size ...

20. meson
    In physics, a group of unstable subatomic particles made up of a quark and an antiquark. They are found in cosmic radiation, and are emitted by nuclei under bombardment by very high-energy particles. The mesons form a subclass of the hadrons and include the kaons and pions. Their existence was predicted in 1935 by Japanese physicist Hideki Yuka...
