Baryon — Baryons are the family of subatomic particles with a baryon number of 1. The term baryon is usually used to refer to triquarks baryons made of three quarks. Exotic baryons made of four quarks and one antiquark are known as the pentaquarks, but… … Wikipedia
List of baryons — This list is of all known and predicted baryons. See list of particles for a more detailed list of particles found in particle physics. Baryons, being composed of quarks, are part of the subatomic particle family called the hadrons. Baryons are… … Wikipedia

Fermion — In particle physics, fermions are particles which obey Fermi Dirac statistics; they are named after Enrico Fermi. In contrast to bosons, which have Bose Einstein statistics, only one fermion can occupy a quantum state at a given time; this is the … Wikipedia
Quark — In physics, a quark (IPAEng|kwɔrk, IPAEng|kwɑːk or IPAEng|kwɑːrk) is a type of subatomic particle. [cite web |title=Fundamental Particles |publisher=Oxford Physics |url=http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/documents/pUS/dIS/fundam.htm |accessdate=2008 06… … Wikipedia
Hyperon — In particle physics, a hyperon is any baryon containing a strange quark, but no charm quarks or bottom quarks.Properties and behavior of hyperonsBeing baryons, all hyperons are fermions. That is, they have half integer spin and obey Fermi Dirac… … Wikipedia
Antiparticle — The laws of nature are very nearly symmetrical with respect to particles and antiparticles. For example, an antiproton and a positron can form an antihydrogen atom, which has almost exactly the same properties as a hydrogen atom. A physicist… … Wikipedia
Isospin — In physics, and specifically, particle physics, isospin ( isotopic spin , isobaric spin ) is a quantum number related to the strong interaction. This term was derived from isotopic spin , but the term isotopic spin is confusing as two isotopes of … Wikipedia
