Other Neutral Particles

See also: list of mesons and list of baryons

Other neutral particles are very short-lived and decay before they could be detected even if they were charged. They have been observed only indirectly. They include:

  • Z bosons
  • Dozens of heavy neutral hadrons:
    • Neutral mesons such as the π0 and K0
    • The neutral Delta baryon (Δ0), and other neutral baryons, such as the Ξ0 and Λ0

Famous quotes containing the words neutral and/or particles:

    “I feel the carousel starting slowly
    And going faster and faster: desk, papers, books,
    Photographs of friends, the window and the trees
    Merging in one neutral band that surrounds
    Me on all sides, everywhere I look.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “When was it that the particles became
    The whole man, that tempers and beliefs became
    Temper and belief and that differences lost
    Difference and were one? It had to be
    In the presence of a solitude of the self....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
