all particles in particle physics are divided into two sub groups

the hadrons and leptons

the difference between them being that

baryons interact by strong force

leptons interact by weak force

the hadron group can be further subdivided into two more groups

the mesons and baryons

muons are part of the lepton group

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 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.


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 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 muon decay equation and how does it describe the process of muon decay?

The muon decay equation is: - e- e . This equation describes the process of muon decay, where a muon (-) transforms into an electron (e-), an electron neutrino (e), and a muon neutrino (). This decay process occurs due to the weak nuclear force, which causes the muon to change into lighter particles.

How many quarks are in a meson?

A meson is comprised of one quark and one antiquark. Another way to comment on the composition of the meson might be that it contains a quark-antiquark pair. A link can be found below for more information.


What is the symbol for a muon?

The symbol for a muon is μ. It is a Greek letter used to represent this subatomic particle.


What is difference beween meson theory and yukawa theory of nuclear forces?

there is no difference b/w meson theory an yukawa theory of nuclear forces because yukawa predicted the nuclear forces as exchange of boson(messons) b/w neutron and proton which keep them bind in an atomic nuclei. so meson theory is just another name of yukawa's theory of nuclear forces.
