Definition that contains meson
- powell English physicist who discovered the pion (the first known meson) which is a subatomic particle involved in holding the nucleus together (1903-1969)
- quark (physics) hypothetical truly fundamental particle in mesons and baryons; there are supposed to be six flavors of quarks (and their antiquarks), which come in pairs; each has an electric charge of +2/3 or -1/3
- yukawa Japanese mathematical physicist who proposed that nuclear forces are mediated by massive particles called mesons which are analogous to the photon in mediating electromagnetic forces (1907-1981)
- pion a meson involved in holding the nucleus together; produced as the result of high-energy particle collision
- k particle an unstable meson produced as the result of a high-energy particle collision
