A general term for elementary particles that have strong interactions. Hadron is the Greek word for strong particle. Among hadrons, those with half-integer spin (1/2, 3/2, ...) and following Fermi statistics are called baryons, while those with integer spin and following Bose-Einstein statistics are called mesons. The former include protons, neutrons, Λ (lambda) particles, and Σ (sigma) particles, while the latter include π (pi) mesons and K mesons. According to current knowledge of particle physics, hadrons can be defined as particles made from quarks.

素粒子のうち、強い相互作用をする粒子の総称。ハドロンはギリシア語で強い粒子の意味である。ハドロンのうち、スピン半整数(1/2、3/2、……)でフェルミ統計に従うものを重粒子(バリオン)、整数スピンでボース‐アインシュタイン統計に従うものを中間子(メソン)という。前者には、陽子、中性子、Λ(ラムダ)粒子、Σ(シグマ)粒子などが属し、後者にはπ(パイ)中間子、K中間子などが属する。今日の素粒子の物理学の知見によれば、ハドロンはクォークからつくられた粒子と定義できる。 [益川敏英] [参照項目] | | | | | | | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
