Particle Sorting

Particle Sorting

1. Matter and antimatter

   • Hadrons
     • Baryons
     • Mesons
       • Pions
       • Kaons
   • Leptons

2. Leptons interact through the weak interation, the gravitational interaction, and through the electromagnetic interaction (if charged)

   • They're fundamental

3. Hadrons can interact through all four fundamental interactions. They interact through the stron interaction and through the electromagnetic interaction if charged

   • Apart from the proton, which is stable, hadrons tend to decay through the weak interaction

4. Baryons are protons and all other hadrons (including neutrons) that decay into protons, either directly or indirectly

5. Mesons are hadrons that do not include protons in their decay products. In other words, kaons and pions are not baryons
