释义 | > as lemmaspsi prime 3. Particle Physics. A neutral, strongly interacting meson that is distinguished by an exceptionally long lifetime in relation to its mass of 3097 MeV, and is produced by the high-energy collision of protons, or of electrons and positrons (frequently written ψ, J/ψ; also called J). Also (in full psi prime, frequently written ψ′): a similar particle of mass 3686 MeV that decays into a psi and two pions.The ψ particle has a spin of 1, zero hypercharge, zero isospin, and negative parity.

Augustin et al. in Physical Rev. Lett. 2 Dec. 1406/2 We have observed a very sharp peak in the cross section for e+e− → hadrons, e+e−, and possibly μ+μ−... The resonance has the parameters E = 3·105 ± 0·003 GeV, Γ ≦ 1·3 MeV... We suggest naming this structure ψ(3105). 1974 G. S. Abrams et al. in Physical Rev. Lett. 9 Dec. 1453/2 We therefore began a systematic search..and quickly found a second narrow resonance decaying to hadrons. The parameters of this new state (which we suggest calling ψ(3695)) are M = 3·695 ± 0·004 GeV, Γ < 2·7 MeV. 1975 Physical Rev. Lett. 7 July 1/1 Although the newly discovered narrow boson resonances at Μ = 3·095 GeV (ψ or J) and at Μ′ = 3·684 GeV (ψ′) have yet to be fully explored, the data so far indicate that these particles are of a hadronic nature with quantum numbers JP = I− and IGC = O−−. 1978 Sci. Amer. Mar. 50/2 The main significance of the discovery of the psi particle was that it provided compelling evidence for the existence of a fourth kind of quark, which had earlier been named the ‘charmed’ quark. 1997 S. Glashow in L. Wolpert Passionate Minds xviii. 172 It was found as the J particle at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and as the psi particle, independently, and on the same day, in California. 1999 Science 20 Aug. 1195/1 Any charm quarks produced in the collision have many more partners to choose from; they don't have to run away with an anticharm partner, which causes the number of J/psi mesons to drop. < as lemmas |
