hadron
Definition
had·ron (had′rän′)
noun
Particle Physics any of a class of subatomic particles, including the proton, neutron, meson, and hyperon, that consist of a combination of quarks and antiquarks
Etymology: Gr hadros, thick, strong + -on
had·ron′ic (ha drän′ik, hə-) adjective
hadron
Usage Examples
Converse of object
- make: Strong interaction The interaction responsible for binding quarks, antiquarks, and gluons to make hadrons.
- produce: For the present example, program AP23 is used to produced hadron ( meson ) correlators D3.
- charge: In 50 % a single charged hadron is produced and in 16 % three charged hadrons are produced.
- know: Many of the known hadrons are resonances, which are excited states of the same quark combination.
- create: If sufficiently energetic, the created hadrons can undergo further interactions, making yet new hadrons and disrupting more nuclei.
Adjective modifier
- final: The majority of high energy hadron-hadron collision events contains a large number of final state hadrons.
- high: Nature of problem: The inelastic interaction of a high energy hadron with a nucleus is simulated.
- other: Roughly speaking, the strings served to bind together the quarks that make up the proton, the neutron and other hadrons.
- observable: Finally, the partons are translated into observable hadrons using phenomenological models.
- observed: The harmonics of the string vibrations were supposed to correspond to the observed hadrons.
- charged: In 50 % a single charged hadron is produced and in 16 % three charged hadrons are produced.
Modifies a noun
- collider: We have made the world's first measurement of exclusive c c production at a hadron collider.
- calorimeter: Hadron Calorimeter: This device measures the total energy of hadrons.
- production: The European hadron production experiment, HARP, will gather important data about the performance of materials for pion targets.
- level: A presentation of the data corrected to hadron level is therefore required.
- cascade: Running time: The software is implemented as a patch in the existing GEANT hadron cascade and is called only under very specific conditions.
- interaction: Relativistic, nonlocal, complex hadron nucleus interactions are incorporated as well as vaccum polarization and finite size effects.
