Physics:Quantum hadron
A quantum hadron is a composite particle bound by the strong interaction. Hadrons are built from quarks, antiquarks, and gluon fields, and they appear experimentally as baryons, mesons, resonances, and jets of hadrons produced in high-energy collisions.[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]
