Baryon decuplet. Diagram organising spin-3/2 baryons into an decuplet according to their charge and strangeness. Particles along the same diagonal line share the same charge; positive (+1,+2),neutral (0),or negative (-1). Particles along the same horizontal line share the same strangeness. Strangeness is a quantum property that is conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions,between particles,but not in weak interactions. Baryons are made up of three quarks. Particles with a strangeness of 0,such as the delta baryons (blue) in the top line,contain no strange quarks. Particles with a strangeness of -1,such as the sigma baryons (green) in the second line,contain one strange quark. Particles with a strangeness of -2,such as the xi baryons (pink) in the third line,contain two strange quarks. Particles with a strangeness of -3,such as the omega baryon (yellow) in the bottom line,contain three strange quarks | |
