Definition that contains hadron
- meson an elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus; a hadron with a baryon number of 0
- quantum chromodynamics a theory of strong interactions between elementary particles (including the interaction that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus); it assumes that strongly interacting particles (hadrons) are made of quarks and that gluons bind the quarks together
- mesotron an elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus; a hadron with a baryon number of 0
- antibaryon the antiparticle of a baryon; a hadron with a baryon number of -1
- heavy particle any of the elementary particles having a mass equal to or greater than that of a proton and that participate in strong interactions; a hadron with a baryon number of +1
- baryon any of the elementary particles having a mass equal to or greater than that of a proton and that participate in strong interactions; a hadron with a baryon number of +1
