WHAT DOES BARYON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

baryon

Baryon

A baryon is a composite subatomic particle made up of three quarks. Baryons and mesons belong to the hadron family, which are the quark-based particles. The name "baryon" comes from the Greek word for "heavy", because, at the time of their naming, most known elementary particles had lower masses than the baryons. As quark-based particles, baryons participate in the strong interaction, whereas leptons, which are not quark-based, do not. The most familiar baryons are the protons and neutrons that make up most of the mass of the visible matter in the universe. Electrons are leptons. Each baryon has a corresponding antiparticle where quarks are replaced by their corresponding antiquarks. For example, a proton is made of two up quarks and one down quark; and its corresponding antiparticle, the antiproton, is made of two up antiquarks and one down antiquark. Until recently, it was believed that some experiments showed the existence of pentaquarks — "exotic" baryons made of four quarks and one antiquark.

Definition of baryon in the English dictionary

The definition of baryon in the dictionary is any of a class of elementary particles that have a mass greater than or equal to that of the proton, participate in strong interactions, and have a spin of 1⁄2. Baryons are either nucleons or hyperons. The baryon number is the number of baryons in a system minus the number of antibaryons.
