To calculate the total strangeness of a composite particle (like a baryon or meson), use the following sum:
The concept of ( ) in particle physics was developed to explain why certain subatomic particles, like kaons and hyperons, lived much longer than expected before decaying. strangeness
The strangeness of a particle is determined by the number of strange quarks ( ) and strange antiquarks ( To calculate the total strangeness of a composite
