A quantum baryon is a hadron with baryon number one. Ordinary baryons such as the proton and neutron contain three valence quarks together with gluons and sea quark-antiquark pairs. Baryons form the familiar nuclear matter of atoms.[1][2][3]
Structure
Composite hadrons are described by quantum chromodynamics. Their observable properties arise from valence constituents, gluon fields, sea quark-antiquark pairs, orbital motion, and confinement.[4]
Experimental role
Hadrons are reconstructed through masses, lifetimes, decay channels, scattering patterns, and production rates. Their spectra and decays provide detailed tests of strong-interaction dynamics.[5]
