pion and kaon
what does the baryon number show
it is a baryon (if 1), antibaryon (if -1) or not a baryon (if 0)

proton
what does the lepton number show
it is a lepton (if 1), antilepton (if -1) or not a lepton (if 0
when is the lepton number conserved
in particle interactions
what is a muon known as
a heavy electron
what do muons decay into
electrons
what are strange particles
produced by the strong nuclear interaction but decay by the weak interaction
what is a property of particles

pairs
what particle physics rely on
collaborative efforts of large teams of scientists and engineers to validate new knowledge.
