What are Hardons in Particle Physics #Physik_World

Hardons



Hardons are the composite particle; means particles that are made of more than one quark. Hardons are sub-divided into two types of particles called Baryons and Mesons. 



Baryons:

Proton and Neutron are known as baryons; means that they are made of exactly three quarks. Baryons are in the family of Hardons, which means that they are made of quark.


NOTE: Composite Fermions(especially 3 quarks) in which case they are called baryons. Baryons are called composite fermions because it follows Pauli exclusion principle (half-integer spin).

Mesons:

The only other subcategory of Hardons is Mesons, which are made of one quark and one antiquark.
NOTE: Composite bosons(especially 2 quarks) in which case they are called meson. Mesons are called composite bosons because it doesn't follow Pauli exclusion principle.(Thus have integer spin and called composite bosons).
