subatomic particles :)
New discoveries of particles like positrons, mesons, neutrinos, and others are typically classified as "subatomic particles." These particles fall under various categories, including elementary particles and composite particles, depending on their structure and properties. They play crucial roles in the field of particle physics, contributing to our understanding of the fundamental forces and constituents of matter.
No. Beta particles are electrons (sometimes positrons, the antiparticles of electrons, are referred to as betas also). "Negative meson" is not a specific particle. It would be a type of particle which is a) a meson, or two-quark hadron, and b) negatively charged. There are several particles which fit that description, but none of them are electrons (or positrons), which are not hadrons but leptons (a type of elementary particle, not made up of quarks at all). --------------------------------------------------------------- No, a beta particle is an electron or positron. Mesons are not produced by radioactive decay, but appear in nature only as short-lived products of very high-energy interactions in matter and are composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by the strong interaction. Charged mesons decay (sometimes through intermediate particles) to form electrons and neutrinos. Uncharged mesons may decay to photons.
At the first level, protons and neutrons are found, but it turns out, they are actually made up of smaller particles called quarks, of which there are six, but only two types of them are in neutrons and protons. Don't forget the massless, point-like particles called gluons who transfer the strong nuclear force between quarks. Oh yeah, and don't forget about the quark / antiquark based particles generally known as mesons, but specifically called pions and rho-mesons in the nucleus, who transfer the nuclear force between protons and neutrons. There's two each of them. Oops, I almost forgot about neutrinos, an active member of every beta-type nuclear radiation process. There are three flavors of those, and they oscillate between themselves so you have to count all three plus their anti....oh crap, I forgot antiparticles. Go ahead and double all the particles I just listed since they all have, except for the neutral pion, neutral rho meson and gluon, a distinct antiparticle. Did I mention that each of the 12 types of quarks and antiquarks come in three possible states known as color? Whoops Well, I think that's it. Oh yeah, Beta decay...in addition to neutrinos you'll find electrons, positrons and the three weak-force carrying bosons, W+, W-, and Z0. Finally... electrons can annihilate with positrons in the nucleus to make photons. and the Higgs is probably there. I have a headache.
Mesons hold protons and neutrons together by mediating the strong nuclear force between them. This force is carried by the exchange of mesons between quarks inside the protons and neutrons. The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus.
Mesons are subatomic particles that are made up of a quark and an antiquark bound together. They are responsible for the strong nuclear force that holds protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus. Mesons have integer spin and decay rapidly into other particles.
They are called sub-atomic (or subatomic) particles ... some of the most common ones are named protons, neutrons, electrons, positrons, mesons, antimesons, neutrinos, antineutrinos, and quarks.

According to the standard model of particles that is most commonly accepted today, there are three main catagories of particle: Hadrons - these are heavy particles that are made up of a combination of three quarks. The most common are protons (made of 2 up quarks and a down quark), neutrons (2 downs and an up), anti-protons (2 anti-ups and an anti-down) and anti-neutrons (2 anti-downs and an anti-up). Leptons - these are light particles that as far as anyone knows do not consist of lower building blocks. examples of these include electrons, positrons, muons, and neutrinos and their anti-counterparts. Mesons - these particles made up of 2 quarks. There are 2 main types of meson, the pi meson and the k meson. Each meson is made of a quark and an anti quark. Pi mesons do not have strangeness, but K mesons do.
You're most likely asking about the neutron. However, there are others, like neutrinos (all three types), pions, kaons, eta mesons, as well as the sigma, the lambda, and the xi particles

Hadrons
Baryons and mesons are both classified as hadrons. Baryons are composed of three quarks, while mesons are composed of a quark-antiquark pair. Both types of particles are subject to the strong nuclear force.
