Definitions and meanings of "Meson"

What do we mean by meson?

Any of a class of subatomic particles that are both hadrons and bosons, are composed of a quark and an antiquark, participate in strong interactions, and have masses generally intermediate between those of leptons and baryons. noun

The median plane which divides a body into two equal and symmetrical parts; the vertical longitudinal middle plane, dividing the body into right and left halves. noun

See tetrachord. noun

The mesial plane dividing the body of an animal into similar right and left halves. The line in which it meets the dorsal surface has been called the dorsimeson, and the corresponding ventral edge the ventrimeson. noun

An elementary particle made up of two quarks; a hadron having a baryon number of zero; any hadron other than a baryon. Mesons are bosons with integral values of spin, having a mass intermediate between those of the electron and a nucleon; they may have positive or negative charges, or may be neutral. Mesons are of three types: the pion (π-meson), kaon (K-mesons), and η-mesons. noun

The former name for the muon, a particle which is not a true meson{2}. The term is no longer used in technical literature, except historically. noun

The mesial plane dividing the body into similar right and left halves. noun

A member of a group of subatomic particles having a mass intermediate between electrons and protons. (The most easily detected mesons fit this definition.) noun

An elementary particle that is composed of a quark and an antiquark, such as a kaon or pion. (Meson composed of rarer quarks are much heavier.) noun

An elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus; a hadron with a baryon number of 0 noun

(rare outside entomology) The mesial plane dividing the body into similar right and left halves.
