|
Hadron |
A particle that interacts through the strong interaction |
|
|
Lepton |
A particle that does not interact through the strong interaction |
|
|
Interaction through which hadrons decay |
Weak interaction |
|
|
Baryon |
A hadron that decays into a proton |
|
|
Meson |
A hadron that does not decay into a proton |
|
|
Conservation rules |
Energy and momentum must be conserved as well as charge, lepton number and baryon number. Strangeness is not necessarily conserved through the weak interaction. |
|
|
Fundamental interactions |
Strong interaction Weak interaction Electromagnetic interaction Gravitational interaction |
|
|
Meson Quark composition |
Quark anti-Quark pair |
|
|
Baryon Quark composition |
Three Quarks or three anti-Quarks |
|
|
The opposite of a particle |
An anti-particle |
|
|
Energy in a collision |
Total KE + Total mass = Total KE + Total mass The sum of the energies before a collision equals the sum of the energies after the collision |
