meson

In physics, a group of unstable subatomic particles made up of a quark and an antiquark. They are found in cosmic radiation, and are emitted by nuclei under bombardment by very high-energy particles.

The mesons form a subclass of the hadrons and include the kaons and pions. Their existence was predicted in 1935 by Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa.
