Omega baryons are a type of subatomic particle that belong to the family of baryons, which are made up of three quarks. Specifically, an Omega baryon consists of three strange quarks, giving it a unique property among baryons. They are denoted as Ω and are known for their relatively high mass compared to other baryons. These particles are produced in high-energy environments, such as in particle accelerators or during cosmic events. Omega baryons are unstable and decay quickly into other particles, making them challenging to study. Their existence helps physicists understand the strong force that binds quarks together within particles.
