List of baryons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of baryons. See also Quark model#Baryons for information on the Quark model of these Baryons.
- Note that all have baryon number +1. Antiparticles (not listed) have all quarks changed to antiquarks, and their baryon number, strangeness, charm, and bottomness quantum numbers have their signs flipped.
