Meaning
An unstable meson produced as the result of a high-energy particle collision.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural objects (not man-made).
Examples
- The K_particle was first discovered in 1947 by a team of physicists studying cosmic rays.
- High-energy particle collisions often produce K_particles, which quickly decay into other particles.
- The K_particle is an unstable meson composed of a strange quark and an up or down antiquark.
- Physicists study the properties of K_particles to gain insights into the strong nuclear force.
- The decay patterns of K_particles have been extensively studied in particle accelerator experiments.
