antineutron electric or magnetic fields the total energy produced when the particle decays radioactive particle 1/2 or 3/2 uncertainty principle the products produced immediately after decay The antiparticle of a neutron. A neutron and antineutron both have the same mass and zero electric charge, but can be differentiated by their interactions: a neutron and an antineutron can annihilate into gamma rays, while two neutrons cannot. 0 The average time in which a particle decays neutron

antiproton the total energy produced when the particle decays radioactive particle 1/2 or 3/2 uncertainty principle the products produced immediately after decay The antiparticle of a proton, identical in mass and spin but of opposite (negative) charge. -1 The average time in which a particle decays proton electric or magnetic fields

hyperon the total energy produced when the particle decays radioactive particle 1/2 or 3/2 uncertainty principle the products produced immediately after decay Baryons heavier than the neutron (this term is seldom used today). They have non-zero strangeness. Free hyperons are unstable and decay into end products, one of which is a proton. 10^-8 to 10^-10 seconds

nucleon nucleus charge multiplet 1/2 exclusion principle 939 MeV The generic name for the proton and the neutron. -has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press
