Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1
    • : Physics. any hadron, or strongly interacting particle, other than a baryon. Mesons are bosons, having spins of 0, 1, 2, …, and, unlike baryons, do not obey a conservation law.

Examples

  • These are exciting prospects for investigating matter-antimatter asymmetry and the oscillations of mesons.

  • A type of meson called D0, for example, which contains charm quarks, is in a superposition of two normal matter particles called D1 and D2.

  • Already Alberg and Miller are working on calculations of the full “meson cloud” surrounding protons, which includes, along with pions, rarer “rho mesons.”

  • One is the “pion cloud” model, a popular, decades-old approach that emphasizes the proton’s tendency to emit and reabsorb particles called pions, which belong to a group of particles known as mesons.

  • At the meson we found real rooms and true beds, and decided to stay for the night.

  • At half past eight we reached San Carlos, a mean town with no meson or other regular stopping-place.

  • We found shelter at a sort of a meson, where we could get no supper until nine, or possibly till ten.

  • The maximum intensity of this extracted meson beam depends on both the charge and energy desired.

  • This meson beam then travels through a hole in the concrete shielding wall into the meson cave.
