Hadron Diagrams Mesons are combinations of two quarks . They have negative parity . The diagrams are plotted with strangeness on the vertical axis and isospin on the horizontal axis.
Mesons are combinations of two quarks .
They have negative parity . The diagrams are plotted with strangeness on the vertical axis and isospin on the horizontal axis. The rho vector meson has a mass dramatically larger than the pseudoscalar pi meson which has the same quark content, illustrating the extraordinary variation of effective quark masses . Back Baryons are combinations of three quarks . The diagrams are plotted with strangeness on the vertical axis and isospin projection on the horizontal axis.
