Key Stage 5
Meaning
A baryon is a type of hadron made of three quarks.
About Baryons
- Baryons include:
- There are many other baryons made from different groups of quarks. However, these are unstable and exist only for very short periods of time before decaying via the weak nuclear interaction into other, most stable, subatomic particles.
- Baryons are affected by the:
Determining Baryon Composition
NB: You only need to memorise the names and quark composition of the proton and the neutron. However, you should be able to determine the quark composition given the charge and strangeness of a given baryon and by remembering the properties of the up-quark, down-quark and strange-quark.
