Strange Baryons
Strange baryons are a type of subatomic particle that belong to the family of baryons, which are made up of three quarks. Unlike ordinary baryons, such as protons and neutrons, strange baryons contain at least one strange quark. This unique quark gives them different properties and makes them heavier than their more common counterparts.
These particles are part of the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and forces in the universe. Strange baryons are produced in high-energy environments, such as particle accelerators or cosmic ray interactions, and studying them helps scientists understand the strong force that binds quarks together.
