Baryons

Outline

Here is a summary of the various particles used in EthnoPhysics which might be described as weighty. Or to be more exact, they all have a non-zero baryon number. All baryons are objectified from thermal sensations.

Baryonic Seeds

Particles reified from simple thermal sensations are called baryonic seeds. There are four types of these seeds symbolized as T, B, S and C. Dangerous thermal sensations like burning or freezing are represented by big baryonic seeds T and B. Whereas S and C are objectified from safe thermal sensations like feeling warm or cool.

Baryonic Quarks

Quarks formed from baryonic seeds are called baryonic quarks. There are eight of them. The top quarks An icon for an top quark. and An icon for a top quark.

The Baryonic Charge

Here is a particle composed from eight baryonic quarks arranged for phase symmetry. The baryonic charge + is defined by

+\equiv \left\{ \mathcal{S}_{\mdsmblkcircle} \, , \; \mathcal{S}_{\mdsmwhtcircle} \rule{0px}{12px} \right\} \; \; \; \text{\sf{where}}

\mathcal{S}_{\mdsmblkcircle} \! \left( \rule{0px}{10 px} \right.+\left. \rule{0px}{10 px} \right) \equiv \left\{ \, \mathsf{b}_{\mdsmblkcircle}, \, \overline{\mathsf{t}}_{\mdsmblkcircle}, \left\{ \mathsf{b}_{\mdsmblkcircle}, \, \overline{\mathsf{t}}_{\mdsmblkcircle} \right\} \rule{0px}{12px} \right\}

\mathcal{S}_{\mdsmwhtcircle} \! \left( \rule{0px}{10 px} \right.+\left. \rule{0px}{10 px} \right) \equiv \left\{ \, \mathsf{b}_{\mdsmwhtcircle}, \, \overline{\mathsf{t}}_{\mdsmwhtcircle}, \left\{ \mathsf{b}_{\mdsmwhtcircle}, \, \overline{\mathsf{t}}_{\mdsmwhtcircle} \right\} \rule{0px}{12px} \right\}

This particle does not contain any dynamic or chemical quarks. So all spatial radii are zero and + is a pointy particle. Having no rotating quarks means that the total angular momentum quantum-number is also zero;  \textsl{\textsf{J}} \hspace{0.5pt} \raisebox{1px}{(}+ ) \normalsize = 0 .

The baryonic-charge has a baryon number of  B \raisebox{1px}{(}+ ) \normalsize \raisebox{0px}{= +1.} And not having any leptonic quarks means that its lepton number is zero;  L \raisebox{1px}{(}+ ) \normalsize = 0 . So + is a particle that satisfies the definition for being a baryon. The charge quantum number of the baryonic-charge is positive one; \scalebox{1.1}{\it{q}} \raisebox{1px}{(}+\scalebox{1.2}{)} = +1 .

The conjugate twin of + is written as +. Please notice that this is quite a different particle than the mesonic charge which is marked by .

Protons

Protons are the most important sort of baryonic particle. And we have a lot to say about them, so here is a link to the main article discussing protons.

Neutrons

Neutrons are the second most important kind of baryonic particle. And here is a link to the main article about neutrons.
