List of mesons

The following tables deal with mesons . They contain the ground states of all known and predicted pseudoscalars ( J ^P = 0 ^- ) and vector mesons (J ^P = 1 ^- ), as well as the states of known scalar mesons (J ^P = 0 ⁺ ), pseudo vector mesons (J ^P = 1 ⁺ ) and Tensor mesons (J ^P = 2 ^± ).

The symbols used in the tables are: ( Isospin ), ( G-Parity ), ( Total angular momentum ), ( Parity ), ( C-Parity ), ( Electric charge ), ( Strangeness ), ( Charm ), ( Bottomness ), etc. ( Up-Quark ), d ( Down-Quark ), s ( Strange-Quark ), c ( Charm-Quark ) and b ( Bottom-Quark ) as well as the symbols for the particles themselves. ${\displaystyle I}$ ${\displaystyle G}$ ${\displaystyle J}$ ${\displaystyle P}$ ${\displaystyle C}$ ${\displaystyle Q}$ ${\displaystyle S}$ ${\displaystyle C}$ ${\displaystyle B'}$

The properties and the quark composition of the particles are listed in each case . Quarks are for the corresponding antiparticles to replace antiquarks (and vice versa) and the sign of the quantum numbers , , and are reversed. Values ​​in red are not yet confirmed with certainty by the experiment, but predicted by the Quark model and in agreement with the measurements. ${\displaystyle Q}$ ${\displaystyle S}$ ${\displaystyle C}$ ${\displaystyle B'}$

The numbers in brackets after a numerical value indicate the uncertainty in the last digits of the value. (Example: The specification 134.9766 (6) has the same meaning as 134.9766 ± 0.0006.)

Notes on the neutral kaons

There are two complications with the neutral kaons :

• Because of the mixture of the neutral kaons , the K _S and the K _{L are} not eigenstates of strangeness . But they are eigenstates of the weak force that is responsible for their decay. Therefore only these particle states have a certain lifespan .
• The linear combinations given in the table for K _S and K _L are only approximately correct, as there is a small correction due to the CP violation . See CP Violation in Kaons .

These effects also exist in principle with other flavor- neutral mesons. The weak eigenstates are only considered to be separate particles in the case of the kaons, as they have drastically different lifetimes.

Note on (missing) mesons with top quarks

Even if the quark compositions d t , u t , s t , c t , b t , t d , t u , t s , t c , t b and t t are possible from the notation, there are no mesons with top -Quark content, as this quark, unlike all other quarks, decays well before the time it takes to form hadrons (mesons or baryons).
