Pi-meson (Noun)
Meaning
A meson involved in holding the nucleus together; produced as the result of high-energy particle collision.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural objects (not man-made).
Examples
- The strong nuclear force that holds the protons and neutrons together in an atomic nucleus is mediated primarily by the exchange of pi-mesons.
- Pi-mesons, also known as pions, are essential for maintaining the stability of atomic nuclei by mediating the strong nuclear force between protons and neutrons.
- At high-energy particle accelerators, collisions often result in the production of several pi-mesons.
- Studies of pi-meson interactions have significantly advanced our understanding of the strong nuclear force and its role in atomic nuclei.
- Investigations into the properties of pi-mesons have been instrumental in the development of modern particle physics and its understanding of nuclear stability.
