Summary

A hadron with baryon number B=+1B=+1 (or B=1B=-1 for an antibaryon). Conventional baryons have net valence content of three quarks, while exotic baryons may contain additional quark–antiquark or gluonic components.

HadronBaryon

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Baryons are hadrons with baryon number B=+1B=+1 and ordinary baryons have three valence quarks; the corresponding antibaryons have B=1B=-1.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
