kaon meson 0 K meson Meson with non-zero strangeness quantum number.

The pions are believed to be the particles exchanged by nucleons, resulting in the strong nuclear force; they play a role in the strong interactions analogous to that of the photons in electromagnetic interactions. -has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press
