Explore: Strange Particles

A strange particle is an elementary particle with a strangeness quantum number different from zero. Strange particles are members of a large family of

quarks are found in subatomic particles called hadrons. Examples of hadrons containing strange quarks include kaons (K), strange D mesons (D s), Sigma baryons

In particle physics, strangeness (symbol S) is a property of particles, expressed as a quantum number, for describing decay of particles in strong and

particle, which is not composed of other particles (for example, quarks; or electrons, muons, and tau particles, which are called leptons). Particle physics

"Production and Decay of Strange Particles" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 20 April 1964, during the

continuity (i.e. the strangeness of each type of hadron remained the same); strangeness of anti-particles being referred to as +1, and particles as −1 as per

particles containing strange quarks, such as the lambda particle, always lose their strangeness, by decaying into lighter particles containing only up and

density of strangeness present. This should lead to copious production of exotic heavy particles, for example D s. Other heavy flavor particles, some which
