Hadron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hadron is a kind of composite particle that is affected by the strong interaction that is made of quarks held together by strong force. There are two kinds of hadrons. One kind are baryons, which are made of three quarks. The other kind are mesons, which are made of one quark and one anti-quark.
