isospin
/ˈʌɪsə(ʊ)spɪn
/noun [mass noun] Physics
A vector quantity or quantum number assigned to subatomic particles and atomic nuclei and having values such that similar particles differing only in charge-related properties (independent of the strong interaction between particles) can be treated as different states of a single particle.In short, they are similar to electric charge, isospin, and all the other internal quantum numbers of elementary particles....
- This symmetry is related to the concept of isospin, and is not the same as charge conjugation.
Origin
1960s: contraction of isotopic spin, isobaric spin.
