Mesons

For the Opera experiment, some of the protons are siphoned off at an intermediate energy and slammed in pulses 10 microseconds long into a graphite target, where they produce a pulse of lesser particles called mesons. ❋ By DENNIS OVERBYE (2011)

The LHCb detector was designed to examine particles called mesons, watching them decay through time after high-energy collisions of other fundamental particles. ❋ Unknown (2011)

When protons collide, their energy is predominantly transformed into particles called mesons - specifically, two types of mesons known as pions and kaons. ❋ MIT News (2010)

Its findings show that the collisions produced an unexpectedly high number of particles called mesons - a factor that will have to be taken into account when physicists start looking for more rarer particles and for the theorized Higgs boson. ❋ MIT News (2010)

A research team led by MIT, CERN and the KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics in Budapest, Hungary have released a report detailing findings that the collisions are producing an "unexpectedly" high number of particles called mesons, subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"Composite particles composed of fermions may be either bosons (such as mesons) or fermions (such as baryons)." ❋ Horace Jeffery Hodges (2005)

Composite particles composed of fermions may be either bosons (such as mesons) or fermions (such as baryons) depending on their total spin. ❋ Horace Jeffery Hodges (2005)

We can distinguish beams of short-lived particles such as mesons or muons from beams of long lived particles, such as photons, neutrinos, positrons, neutrons and antiprotons. ❋ Unknown (2001)

Robert Hofstadter had studied the structure of the proton with electron-proton scattering (for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1961), and, in principle, it was possible to get a related picture of the structure of unstable particles such as mesons with electron-positron colliding beams. ❋ Unknown (1976)

Next, there were different kind of mesons - the one in closest analogy to photons, coupled via, are called vector mesons - there were also scalar mesons. ❋ Unknown (1972)

In 1934, when you were only 27 years old, you boldly predicted the existence of new particles, now called "mesons", which you anticipated to be of fundamental importance for the understanding of the forces acting in the atomic nucleus. ❋ Unknown (1964)

During the last decade, fundamental particles called "mesons" have turned out to be particularly interesting. ❋ Unknown (1964)

Strings are similar to mesons, where an open string with its endpoints, or Chan-Paton factors, are similar to a QCD gluon flux tube with quarks at the end. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This is basically why people build dedicated machines to make mesons. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Sula gave a memorable introductory talk on heavy mesons and hyperons at the 1956 Rochester Conference; much of what she reported was her own work. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Because of their perseverence, they were rewarded with some of the earliest and most interesting observations of the interactions of negative K mesons with protons. ❋ Unknown (2009)
