What is the noun for mesons?

What's the noun for mesons? Here's the word you're looking for.

meson
  1. (obsolete) A member of a group of subatomic particles having a mass intermediate between electrons and protons. (The most easily detected mesons fit this definition.)
  2. (now specifically, physics) An elementary particle that is composed of a quark and an antiquark, such as a kaon or pion. (Mesons composed of rarer quarks are much heavier.)
  3. Examples:
    1. “A crypto-exotic, by contrast, is a hadron that does not have an exotic quantum number, but does not have a meson or baryon body plan either.”
      “The three colors are thus represented in this whole of a quark and a antiquark, which constitutes a meson.”
      “If true, that would provide a second example of an asymmetry between matter and antimatter. The first example was a type of meson called a kaon.”
mesonium
  1. (physics) Any exotic atom formed from a meson and an electron
meson
  1. (rare outside entomology) The mesial plane dividing the body into similar right and left halves.
  2. Examples:
    1. “A crypto-exotic, by contrast, is a hadron that does not have an exotic quantum number, but does not have a meson or baryon body plan either.”
      “The three colors are thus represented in this whole of a quark and a antiquark, which constitutes a meson.”
      “If true, that would provide a second example of an asymmetry between matter and antimatter. The first example was a type of meson called a kaon.”
mesonics
  1. (physics) The study of mesons.
  2. Synonyms:
mesoniums
  1. plural of mesonium
mesons
  1. plural of meson
  2. Examples:
    1. “Most particles are either mesons, which contain a quark and an antiquark, or baryons, which comprise three quarks or three antiquarks.”
      “Kaons and pions are examples of particles known as mesons, which contain a quark and an antiquark.”
      “In general, baryons consist of three quarks and mesons of one quark and its corresponding antiquark.”
