| The simplest hadrons are therefore mesons made from a quark and antiquark pair, and baryons made of three quarks. |
|
| However, we find it difficult to describe the way that quarks and gluons bind together to form hadrons. |
|
| At low temperatures, quarks are confined in hadrons, whereas at higher temperatures they form a quark-gluon plasma. |
|
| This was a deadly flaw for a theory of hadrons, but not for a theory in which all matter, including photons, are strings. |
|
| Charmed hadrons are produced by the interaction of high energy photons with a segmented beryllium oxide target. |
|
| In collisions at high energies, charmonium particles come from the decay of b-flavoured hadrons and prompt production. |
|
| We are finding that the closely tended garden of hadrons is abloom with exotic new growths. |
|
| As this discussion makes clear, the issue of exotic hadrons exposes profound weaknesses in our current understanding of the strong interaction. |
|
| This process results in two jets of hadronic particles as the quarks form hadrons. |
|
| Gluons are bosons, carriers of the strong force that bind quarks together into hadrons such as protons or neutrons. |
|
| Beams of hadrons, such as protons, neutrons and ions, offer important advantages over X-ray radiotherapy. |
|
| According to quantum field theory, gluons and pairs of light quarks and antiquarks should be spontaneously emitted and re-absorbed by the quarks and gluons inside hadrons. |
|
| For the two years that followed, string theory was the theory of hadrons. |
|
| Detailed matrix operations confirm that hadrons with quark-antiquark pairs, three quarks, or three antiquarks, are colorless combinations. |
|
| Elementary particles can be categorized into hadrons and leptons in accord with whether they participate in the strong interaction or not. |
|
| Although quarks also carry color charge, hadrons must have zero total color charge because of a phenomenon called color confinement. |
|
| It provides our best understanding of the strong interaction, describing the hadrons in terms of the elementary quarks and gluons and their interactions. |
