Is lepton part of an atom?

Lepton is the common name given to electron, positron, neutrino, antinuetrino, mu-meson [muon] etc. So an atom has these elementary particles within and come out in specific circumstances.


What is heavier meson or proton?

meson is heavier than electron but lighter than proton


Fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is muon or meson?

It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.


What parts in a atom is smaller than a electron proton and neutron?

Quarks are the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, and they are smaller than electrons, protons, and neutrons in size. Quarks are believed to be point-like particles, meaning they have no size or volume.


What is a ice particle?

By Ice Particle, I assume you mean the smallest unit of ice that is still ice. That's called a Meson. A Mesons is one type of Hardon; the other is Baryon. Baryons are found primarily in steam. A meson is the basic building block of ice molecules. It is composed of a quark and an anti quark. Quarks have properties like spin, charge, top/bottom, flavor and strangeness. The interaction of these properties is what gives each meson its unique characteristics. For example, a Strange and Charming meson might become a snowflake. Based on this, you might think that a quark is the smallest unit of ice. It's not. A single quark isn't ice any more than an Oxygen atom is Air. In order for it to behave like ice, a quark needs to be part of a meson. If this answer is confusing, be sure to check the Wikipedia articles on Mesons and quarks. I found them very informative.

How many quarks are in a meson?

What is the B meson golden channel?

The B meson has a number of decay modes, called channels. The term "golden channel" is applied to the first one, and in that channel (decay chain or decay event), the B meson transforms into two other mesons, a J/psi meson and a K short, or KS meson, a kaon.

What is the difference between colourless meson and colour singlet meson?

They're two ways of expressing the same idea. A "color singlet" meson is a meson consisting of a red-antired, green-antigreen, or blue-antiblue quark-antiquark pair. Since X-antiX cancels out, this is essentially the same thing as saying that the meson has no net overall color charge ... that is, it's colorless.
